Yarn Made of Soft Silk
Silk has been around for many years. In China the fiberhas been known to be used from about 6000 BC, where as it appeared in Europe in the mid-500s. In the old days, silk was reserved for nobility and other wealthy citizens, but today we can all enjoy the world's most exclusive raw material.
Silk is a 100% natural fiber, which is gathered from the cocoons of the larvae of the insects like mulberry silkworms. Silk fibers are some of the strongest amongst natural fibers. Silk yarn retains heat, absorbs moisture and is a very strong material for knitting and crochet. In fact, silk can absorb 30% moisture with it feeling wet. In addition to these many benefits, silk does not shrink, so it will stay in the shape you made it in to. In short, silk is a beautiful and strong material, which becomes even more stunning when it is dyed using natural colors.
Silk Yarn's Many Good Qualities
Silk yarn is good for the person, who wants to knit or crochet something that looks exclusive. It is difficult to find yarn made of 100% silk, as it is often mixed with alpaca or mohair, which makes the yarn softer and improves the yarn’s ability to retain heat. If you have sensitive skin, silk yarn is a great choice, as it feels extremely soft and smooth and is also completely itch-free. It is, therefore, also great for knitting and crochet projects for children and babies. Yarn made with silk is available in many different colors and can be used for both summer and winter projects.
Silk Yarn Blends for Summer and Winter
Most people use silk yarn, when they are knitting or crocheting clothing for summer, as silk is very nice to wear in warm weather. It is breathable, soft and feels light as a feather. However, silk can also be used for winter knitting or crochet projects, as it is often mixed with materials that are great for winter, such as mohair. Mohair and silk create a magical combination with a luxurious feel.
Even though silk is a durable material, you need to read the washing instructions carefully, as washing it wrong can impact the structure of the yarn.
