Malabrigo Silky Merino
This delightfully drapery favorite combines 50% silk and 50% merino into a single-ply DK yarn that is absolutely a treat to knit and a joy to wear. The combination is soft, smooth, and itch-free even on the most sensitive skin- absolutely wonderful for garments, scarves, and other next-to-your-skin items. The silk content gives the yarn a bit more weight and drape than a pure merino, and a slight sheen that is absolutely gorgeous. The fibers take dye a little differently, adding extra depth to the wide selection of semi-solid, variegated, and watercolor-multi colorways available.
Great for: Accessories, shawls, garments, cables, color-work, textured stitches, lace.

Nuna is an unbelievably soft and luxurious yarn. The fiber blend starts with extrafine Merino wool for a bit of bounce, adds mulberry silk for a lovely sheen, and then finishes off with a bit of bamboo viscose for drape! With an amazing stitch definition this would make an awesome lace project! Mirasol yarns are made in Peru to benefit the Mirasol Project – a group that strives to improve the lives of Peruvian shepherds (homeland of the Inca’s) through building and supporting educational facilities.
