bombyx silk and linen lace 2 ply undyed yarn, natural ivory. 16/2, 65% silk/35% linen.
This yarn has a high silk content, so its drape is soft rather than crisp. It is made with top quality spun/bombyx silk, is more tightly spun, and is a true laceweight. It has a high silk content, so its drape is soft rather than crisp. It will get softer with washing (yes, you can machine wash!) When dyed with acid dyes, the linen "tints" rather than being dyed, so the result is an elegant heathered color.
And between you and me, it is the same yarn base used by a well known luxury hand dyer- only in a lace weight instead of a DK. DK can be found here:
