This yarn has a high twist and is very shiny. It has a bright white coloring and looks delightful in the skein. It takes the dye really well, sucks up colors, which appear bright and clear. Speckles work well on this yarn. The fabric knitted with this yarn is light and shiny with a fabulous drape. We have used #3 needles, but 3mm would also work. Super soft, this yarn is perfect for accessories and sweaters.
Sample skein for wholesale customers — only one skein of each type per customer please.
