Darn Good Yarn Silk Sport Yarn

Darn Good Yarn’s Twist Sport Weight Silk in Enchanted Lagoon — a pale aqua and seafoam ground shot through with bright coral and burnt-orange specks. The kind of watercolour palette recycled silk does better than anything else. Each cake is one of one.

This listing is for one cake. Five available.

About the yarn:

Twist Sport Weight Silk is Darn Good Yarn’s 2-ply recycled silk sport weight — 50 g / 150 yd per cake, a smooth, lightly lustrous strand that knits at standard sport gauge on about US 3–5 / 3.25–3.75 mm. Recycled-silk yarn always carries small slubs and colour drift along the run — the trade for the deeper, naturally-painterly colour you don’t get out of millspun. Hand-wash cool, lay flat to dry.

About Darn Good Yarn:

Darn Good Yarn is a women-owned US studio that sources recycled silk and silk-blend yarn from women’s co-ops in Nepal and India. Their Twist line is a 2-ply silk sport weight — smoother and finer-gauge than the ribbon yarns, dyed in painterly shifting palettes that read like watercolour on the needle.
