Mulberry Silk by Isager

Yarn Notes Yarn Specs The Brand We stock every colour of Mulberry Silk! Isager Mulberry Silk is a delicate, lace-weight, 2-ply, 100% silk yarn, designed primarily to use in combination with other yarns. Use this luxurious yarn to automatically elevate your projects - it adds softness, sheen, drape and strength! Mulberry Silk works especially well when held together with Isager Spinni or Tvinni (100% wool) or Isager Palet (100% cotton), as it adds a beautiful sheen and a cool touch, which complements these more matte yarns. When paired with wool yarns, it provides extra softness without the fuzziness like with Isager Silk Mohair. (It's so good!!) We LOVE it with Merilin - such a perfect combo. And with Silk Mohair, it's exquisite! It is especially well suited for lighter garments, scarves and baby clothes.

All the wool qualities are ideal for felting and for dyeing with plant dyes. It is important to us that our yarns are produced with the greatest amount of care taken to both animals and humans. THE COLOUR RANGE Carefully created so the colours work well together both within and across the qualities. We rarely change the colours, as the range primarily consists of BASIC COLOURS, amongst which contemporary colours can always be found. The colours and qualities of our finer yarns can be mixed to create unique pieces. As a rule, single ply, densely spun yarns should not be used individually for working in the round, as they may pull the finished work. When worked together with other qualities this problem is avoided.
