Icelandic/Merino/Silk 3 ply Worsted yarn 200 yds/4 Oz Natural Soft!

Description: Icelandic/Merino/Silk 3 ply Worsted 4oz skein undyed natural color. Condition is New. Just in from The Other Side Farms! Beautiful yarn made from Gurdy Run Woolen Mills. This yarn has the finished look you can expect from professionally done machine yarn, but it retains its homemade origins. It has a blend of 65% Icelandic wool, 22% Merino wool top, and 13% silk. The Icelandic Wool comes from the sheep here on the farm, skirted by yours truly. I then package it all up and send it off to the mill, with my desired blend. The blend of Icelandic wool, Merino top, and silk is the brainchild of my search for the yarn that balanced perfectly between softness, drape, while retaining a crisp stitching definition (it looks amazing done with any kind of cabling). I've been offering this product now for several years and have gotten back very positive feedback from my customers. I am thrilled, because it has the almost elven quality, like what Tolkein imagined when he was thinking of a fiber type for his books. Icelandic is lightweight, but is rather more textured and can be rough, although it carries a natural sheen to it as well. Merino is superfine, but heavy. Silk is, well, silk- lightweight, fine, soft, shiny, strong and durable. Added together, it's a match made in Heaven! It is soft, and for my personal taste, I would put it next to skin. It doesn't have the feeling of melting into your skin, but it is soft. Skeins are 200 yards each, 3 ply. The color is difficult to capture. It is natural, undyed. Most of the fibers are white, or natural, with some darker hairs throughout. So, when you look at it overall, it has the appearance of being straw colored. If you have any questions, please ask! Thanks for stopping by!
