Etrofil Silk Road Hand Knitting Yarns are a luxurious blend of silk and wool, hand-dyed using natural root dyes. These yarns are perfect for creating elegant garments and accessories such as sweaters, socks, scarves, and shawls. For a softer finish after knitting, we recommend washing with a gentle wool detergent. To ensure the longevity of your creations, wash on a delicate or hand-wash cycle.
