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 ideal for creating sophisticated womenswear and is available in a range of flattering, mature shades. Inspired by grand English estates, this knitting yarn offers a sumptuous palette. It is a dream to knit or crochet, with soft fibers that feel as good as they look. The soft, plump stitches provide crisp definition for detailed color-work and textured patterns. The resulting fabric is lightweight with a beautiful drape, perfect for long cardigans, generous wraps, and swinging ponchos, as well as neat knits that offer luxurious warmth without added weight. Care instructions: Hand or 30 Machine Wash on a Wool Cycle. Wash dark colors separately. Do not tumble dry. Reshape while wet. Do not iron.
