A slinky party top knit in pure silk.

The construction method is a little different. Being knit loosely on largish needles for the weight of the yarn, it is designed to take into account the way silk drops. It is washed and hung in order to get the final gauge, which you will see is pretty unusual. The resulting fabric has a wonderful drape.
