Spun Silk


With a shine that feels like the sun itself is warming each skein, Spun Silk’s beauty is totally exceptional. Lovingly created in Italy, this yarn is made with only the softest and finest fibers, combed from the longest, straightest, and most perfect silk. With its strength and luster, beauty and fineness, this yarn truly pays honor to the wonder of nature. Spun Silk ranges from a fingering to a sport weight, very happy at 6 or 7 stitches to the inch, the perfect weight for four-season sweaters, wraps, and scarves! Although we no longer sell Spun Silk, we do have lots of great substitutes that are available and in stock. Check out our yarns with similar gauge and fiber!
