Painted Desert - US Shaniko Wool/Mulberry Silk
$21.00
80% US Shaniko Wool (Merino/Rambouillet) / 20% Mulberry Silk
2 oz / 56 grams
Dyed by hand in Seattle, Washington, USA
The Painted Desert colorway includes purple, pink, red, mustard, and gold.
In this luscious blend, 20.4-micron Shaniko wool, grown and processed in the US from Merino/Rambouillet sheep, is combined with Mulberry silk to create a delightfully soft and lustrous fiber that is a perfect pick for projects that require a more elevated yarn. This fiber blend is an excellent choice for next-to-the-skin garments, and because the wool is non-superwashed, it can be used for felting.
Handwash your finished yarn in cold water using a gentle wool wash like Soak or Eucalan. Hang or lay flat to dry.
