About: JaggerSpun Zephyr Wool-Silk

A blend of Australian super fine merino wool and soft silk makes this yarn ideal for luxury products that can be worn next to sensitive skin. Besides it's sensous texture, the wool/silk blend makes it warm for winter and cool in summer. The two fibers also absorb dyes slightly differently giving a shiny, intense color. Hand knitters may prefer multi stranding this yarn for larger gauges. Three strands for a sport weight and 5 strands for a worsted weight. The mini cones are an ideal size for lace knitting projects. Weavers will enjoy mixing this yarn with the Superfine Merino, 2/30 Gemstone silk, or Douceur et Soie. As a worsted spun yarn, you'll fine they are smoother and shinier than woolen spun yarns. They also won't full as much when washed/finished, so plan on a closer sett or tighter gauge (finish your swatch to determine if you like the finished piece). JaggerSpun is dyed with the finest dyes possible and mothproofed for a long life. Excess dyes may be present in some colors so sample first. If excess dye is present, skein the yarn and rinse until the water runs clear. Deep purples may not be colorfast when exposed to sun, so avoid prolonged exposure to bright light. Care: Dry cleaning recommended.
