Fleece Artist Woolie Silk

Village Yarns has just received a shipment from Fleece Artist and Hand Maiden. Many colourful goodies in these boxes.




Today we share with you Fleece Artist Woolie Silk.



Come visit us at Village Yarns to touch and be inspired by this delightful blend of 65% Wool and 35% Silk. Our shipment contained the 2ply quality which they recommend to be knitted on a 4mm needle, achieving 26st/4". This of course is a suggested needle size and gauge. The 2ply Woolie Silk skeins have 400m/100g, making the yardage very suitable for socks. Socks you would work on 2.5mm thru 3mm, depending on how tight or loose a tension you have. Two skeins would knit a wonderful Pashmina-style scarf for wearing over jackets when the fall weather arrives.



Contact Village Yarns at 1-888-343-8885 or locally (416)232-2361 to place an order. We ship worldwide - yes, even to Warwick, Ontario! ;) You know how it is with this yarn line - in stock today, sold out tomorrow!
