ArtYarns Silk With Glass Beads And Sequins DK Yarn

Silk so fine you can see your hand through it, threaded — actually threaded, before it ever got to a needle — with Murano glass and sequins. Hold a skein up to the window and it catches light like a beaded curtain. This is what knitters keep on the top shelf, behind glass.

ArtYarns is the Yonkers, New York studio of Iris Schreier, a hand-dyed luxury house whose Beaded Silk line has been a fixture in collector knitting bags for two decades. The beads and sequins are silk-strung by the studio before dyeing — sparkle woven in, not appliquéd on. With nearly 1,700 projects logged on Ravelry, this colorway runs in the same circles as Habu and Shibui.

100% silk with silk-strung sequins and Murano glass beads · DK weight · 110 yards per skein (2 skeins — 220 yards total) · gauge 5 sts/inch · needles US 6 (4.0 mm).

Colorway: Silver / Charcoal / Magenta (#739).

Twice-owned · 35% under retail · premium fiber, verified by hand · 2 available, sold per skein. Curated and re-homed by Storybook Yarn — every skein verified by hand before listing.

Lovely for: an evening shawlette, a beaded edging on a plain merino cardigan, or a single statement collar. Two skeins is enough for the Stardust Cowl or a whisper-weight Half Moon shawl; pair it with a smooth fingering-weight silk for double the yardage without diluting the sparkle.

Care: Hand wash only, cool water, no agitation; lay flat to dry. Store away from direct light — the beads and silk both prefer the shade.

Condition: new with band. Two 50g hanks available, sold per skein. Bands intact; photographs include the band so you can see the ArtYarns colorway code (#739) before you buy.
