Handspun yarn - ivory BFL silk - Sugar Twist
A skein of luxury handspun. First I spun an undyed single of ivory Blue Faced Leicester, next I spun a fine thread of bombyx silk in a range of pastel pinks and mauves - then I plied them together. The resulting skein is soft and the high grade bombyx silk has a subtle gleam. It would be perfect to use as an accent yarn or to create flowers etc as embellishments.
The skein is spun slightly thick and thin and contains approx. 78 yds/38g
See pic. against 1 inch ruler for accurate idea of gauge.
