Pure peace silk! Though the shine on this is matte compared to mulberry silk, it still has its own distinctive luster that is just beautiful. The yarn is full-bodied and soft, and you can tell how warm it wants to be. Dye takes up very softly on this fiber, so darker colors come out quite muted--Kayak, pictured at left, is almost a pink on this base! I am considering only offering this for lighter colors if we bring it on, but you'll have to let me know what you think in your feedback form.

R&D Bases are in-stock, one-time offerings that I am considering adding to the regular lineup. Your order will ship with a link to a feedback survey to fill out after you try the yarn. If you complete the survey, you will earn a coupon for 25% off your next order!

Care Instructions

To keep finished objects looking their best, hand-wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.

Each skein is hand-washed thoroughly after dyeing, but please keep in mind that minimal bleeding or crocking can still occur on first wash. A prewash is recommended for projects using multiple colors, especially saturated colors.

As with all hand-dyed yarns, especially plant fibers, slight variations should be expected between batches and even within dye lots. We strongly advise purchasing all skeins for a project at the same time to ensure they come from the same dye lot. It is also best practice to alternate skeins as you work.
