Description

DK Tibetan – Blackcurrant Sorbet: A luxurious yarn made from a combination of natural fibres, hand dyed in our rich berry colourway.

This yarn is a superb blend of 60% Superwash Merino, 20% Silk, 20% Yak. It is beautifully soft with good drape and a soft sheen, making it the perfect choice for any next-to-skin project such as a cowl, scarf, hat, gloves, etc. This yarn is suitable for use with any DK knitting or crochet pattern that is designed for a wool/silk blend yarn.

The sample shown is the Bouquet Cowl design – a free pattern on Ravelry – knitted with just one skein of this yarn in the Raspberry Coulis colourway. Come along to a yarn show or book a dye studio visit to feel just how soft and smooth this yarn is!
