A blend of 60% polyester, 20% cotton, and 20% silk creates this single ply yarn with a subtly nubby tweedy texture. It is a dream for those looking for something a little more distinctive than a basic yarn, but still with an everyday appeal. Touch of Silk is a perfect option for garments and accessories for all genders. Unlike yarns with high silk content, this yarn does not have a “crunchy” hand feel. It is soft, scratch-free, and suited for against-the-skin wear. Projects can be machine washed, but lay items flat to dry to maintain their shape.
