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.

Yardage Estimates for Sweaters in Standard Yarn Weights
by Vicki Square
 
The following guidelines are for the amounts of yarn needed for a basic pullover or cardigan in a variety of sizes and yarn sizes. These estimates are for smooth yarns and plain or lightly textured knitting.

Keep in mind that heavily textured patterns such as all-over cables or oversized looks can easily require additional yarn (400-600 yards; 375-550 meters). When knitting with two or more colors, the total yardage will be greater to account for the yarns being carried across the back of the work.

Estimate generously, and if you have leftovers ... well, they're a designer's best friend!
