This is a shiny wonderful yarn. We call it the vegan silk. This is a great yarn to dye, you can get really rich intense colours on it. It does benefit from an extra preparation step (see here) You will need to use Procion MX/Fiber reactive dyes on this yarn. You can also use natural dyes on this base. We have achieved some incredible metalic colours on this base. The yarn does loose a little softness once dyed, but it softens up with movement and work, a quick slap of the skeins on the back of a chair when the yarn is damp helps enormously with this. The fabric is light and airy, and blocks out well with a nice drape.
