The red and purple didn't photograph well...it's just gorgeous! I'll try again. It is the same soft clean worsted to bulky weight yarn, spun from the silk left from making the silk for sari's.

Multi colored with an eyelash texture! This has been washed and is so soft! It will weave or knit up beautifully!

These are such pretty colors I couldn't resist! It isn't your normal sari silk size, a bulky weight. It feels a lot softer and drapes nicer to the touch than some sari silk I've had. It is very clean and a color I had not seen.

Banana Silk Yarn

This is a lovely shiny bulky yarn, the same size as the Sari Silk and will work with it nicely. It has a smoother feel to the sari silk, but still has that tighter twist that you are to expect with these fibers. It softens nicely when washed.

The yarn is a soft superwash wool blended with nylon, at a 73/27 ratio. It is great for warm winter socks. At a sportweight/DK it will make a lovely sweater or socks, use as accents in socks or sweaters and will weave into a lovely soft washable blanket.
