The silk is mulberry silk noil, which comes from the short fibers of the finest silk and, making up 40% of the yarn, adds significant luster, strength, and beauty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTussock is a fine lace-weight yarn that blooms so beautifully that we prefer to knit it anywhere from a fingering- to a worsted-weight gauge, on US 3-8 needles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGorgeous as a single strand, this feather-light fiber also plays beautifully in pairs or even trios for your own invention of a watercolor-y marle, or try it alongside other yarns, for plumping up a companion or adding an unexpected touch.
