Peau de Soie silk yarn is a crisp, hand dyed silk yarn that any fiber lover will go gaga over. We’ve imported a beautiful silk kettle-dyed yarn in that is unlike most of the classic silk yarns. This silk yarn is soft yet crisp, with an almost linen-y feel. It has a wonderfully soft, not extreme luster, and the color depth is amazing. We call this a worsted roving because it has no twist, is not plied, and the slight thick and thin-ness throughout the strand adds to the visual interest of this yarn.
