This unique combination of natural fibers provides a yarn that is lightweight and lustrous. Equal percentages of fine Merino Wool and Tussah silk are joined to create a truly elegant yarn. Because wool and silk accept dyes differently, the fabric made from this yarn may have a slightly “tweedy” look in some shades. Combed in Italy and dyed in the USA
