JaggerSpun Zephyr Wool-Silk 2/18 Yarn
#027

The unique blending of lace-worthy Australian superfine 21.5 micron merino wool and premium silk makes a luxurious yarn that can be worn next to the skin. Besides its gorgeous texture, the wool-silk blend makes your projects warm for winter and cool in summer.

The two fibers also absorb dyes slightly differently giving a luminous, sometimes heathered color. Perfect for Estonian Haapsalu Shawls.

Weaving Yarn Tip
Mix this yarn with the Superfine Merino or Gemstone Silk. Worsted spun yarns are smoother and shinier than woolen spun yarns and won't full as much when washed/finished, so plan on a closer sett or tighter gauge (finish your sample swatch to determine if you like the finished piece).

Knitters
Hand-knitters may prefer multi-stranding this yarn for larger gauges.
Three strands for a sport weight, five strands for a worsted weight.
Mini cones are an ideal size for lace knitting projects.

JaggerSpun yarns are dyed with the finest low-impact dyes possible. Excess dyes may be present in some stronger colors so sample first. If excess dye is present, skein the yarn and rinse until the water runs clear. Due to environmental concerns, the dye formulas for deep purples may not be colorfast when exposed to light, so avoid prolonged exposure to bright light.
Additional care: We recommend spot cleaning or environmentally-friendly dry cleaning. After making a swatch/sample, you can try hand washing, then rolling in a towel and hanging to dry. Do not soak. For strongly contrasting colors we recommend steaming or wet finishing with clear cool water. Detergents may cause darker colors to run.
