Sirdar Cashmere Merino Silk DK is a luxurious knitting yarn crafted from a blend of pure silk, extra fine merino wool, and the softest Himalayan cashmere. This yarn is perfect for creating sophisticated womenswear and is available in a palette of flattering, grown-up shades inspired by grand old English estates. It offers a sumptuous feel and a luxurious blend of soft cashmere, smooth silk, and extra fine merino wool. Knitting or crocheting with this yarn is a dream, as the soft fibers feel as good as they look. The resulting stitches are soft and plump, providing crisp definition for detailed color-work and textured patterns. Garments made from this yarn will be lightweight with a beautiful drape, ideal for long-line cardigans, generous wraps, swinging ponchos, and neat knits that offer luxurious warmth without added weight. Care instructions include hand washing or a 30°C machine wash on a wool cycle. Wash dark colors separately. Do not tumble dry. Reshape while wet. Do not iron.
