This yarn is as you would wish a pure silk to be, its smooth shiny and creates the most beautiful fabric. This yarn sucks up colour and the colours appear bright and clear; speckles show up well on this yarn. You can use Acid or Procion MX dyes with this yarn, although we prefer acid dyes. See notes on dyeing silk here.
The resulting fabric is light and open, and the stitch definition for the lace is really prominent, the fabric blocks nicely as well. This yarn keeps its shine well after dyeing.
