This is a new style of Sari Silk. It is made from leftover, unused sari weft threads. They are colour picked then Handspun using a wheel (Gandhi Charkha) to produce a smooth & lustrous yarn.

The vibrant colors and unique texture of Sari Silk yarn is well know, however making yarn from weft threads takes this concept to the next level in terms of usability and feel.

Suggested needle size: As the skeins are variable, I’d sugest from 5 - 7mm. YMMV.

Each skein in unique in its random jewel-like colours, however, they all usually have one predominant colour, and there are many skein twins“ to be had (That’s part of the fun when you order this yarn!).

As well as Knitting or Crochet, these are also great for Embroiderers to use, as there is usually a great range of colour per skein, the threads are very long and so it is a very economical way to acquire embroidery silks!

I have some skeins that appear to be made of far rougher silk, the colours are still vibrant, but more useful in couching/embroidery than in knitting/crochet. These are mostly in the yellow colour family

After-care of your garments: Hand wash in cool water and dry flat. Cool iron if required. You can also get them hand dry cleaned.
