This is a favourite yarn at Sanjo, made even better by being painted with colour! It's a tussah yarn with lots of delicious lumps and bits of noil spun into it. It has take colour beautifully, and it's spectacular both woven and knitted. For weaving, we recommend using it only in the weft. Superfine hand-knitted into character lace, or machine knitted, or knitted along with another yarn to add texture and subtle colour. The handpainted colourways coordinate with other handpainted yarns and fibres - for example, Aquamarine 20-090 will be a perfect blend with other yarns and fibre in Aquamarine.
