Yōmō - Silk-Blend Yarn (60% Bombyx Silk & 40% Wool), 60/4, lace/thread weight
Wool is strong, resilient and warm, absorbing 50% of its weight in moisture before becoming saturated and is wrinkle resistant. It is easy to spin and dye.
Wool and silk improve from their union, with wool becoming smoother, shinier, more drapeable and easier to wash without fear of felting, while silk acquires resilience and warmth.
This yarn is a joy to weave and yields a firm, but supple cloth good for all types of clothing.
Our skeins sizes vary a bit in size, ranging between 180-210grams, with the average skein being 200 grams.
We’ve listed the price for the AVERAGE weight skein. We charge by the gram, so if your skein is a bit lighter, you’ll pay a bit less and if your skein is a bit heavier, you’ll pay a bit more. If you need specific yardage for a project, please let us know in the comments section at check out so we can select the correct skein(s) for you.
Once your skein is pulled and weighed, we will adjust your price and then process your credit card. We will call you if we have any questions.
