Silky Merino
Meet Silky Merino — a delightfully drapey DK-weight yarn that blends the best of both worlds. With its luxurious mix of silk and merino, this single-ply beauty is soft, smooth, and gentle enough even for sensitive skin. It’s a true treat to knit or crochet and a joy to wear, making it perfect for garments and next-to-skin accessories you’ll reach for again and again.
The silk adds a glowing sheen and beautiful weight, giving your stitches elegance and flow, while the merino keeps everything breathable, warm, and wonderfully wearable. Because silk and wool absorb dye differently, each skein holds unique depth—creating semi-solid and watercolor-like colorways that look hand-painted by nature herself.
