Color Now! - Jorie II Silk Yarn - Natural Dye 1013 Pewter
**Limited Edition** (**image is for color only; Jorie II is much thicker**)
We love this yarn for weaving on a rigid heddle loom, or accents in a multi-shaft loom!
What does 20/2x5 mean? This is a cabled yarn--the '20' indicates a fine (thin) yarn; the '/2' means it's a 2-ply yarn; and the 'x5' means there are 5 strands of the 20/2 twisted together. So this yarn is about 5 times as thick as our Kiku yarn.
This yarn is "happier" after it has been dyed--the extended time in the heated dye pot makes Jorie II slightly fuller and a little less slippery--espeically noticable if you are knitting with this yarn. Knitters will find that while the yards/lb would typically make this a worsted weight yarn, Jorie II knits like a DK weight
