BFL+Silk DK

Love the color, love the feel, love to knit with it, love to wear it.

I haven't been very cognizant of the various breeds of sheep and the characteristics of the yarn made from their wool, except that I always looked for merino because I hoped it would be soft enough to wear on bare skin. But I really wanted a yarn with a bit more body for this sweater, so I tried it, and I'm so glad I did. I don't know if it's true what I read that the yarn doesn't have scales (even without superwashing) but it's certainly MUCH easier to work with. The strands don't seem to snarl together, even being dragged across my lap, and that makes going backwards to fix a mistake such a relief! It's lofty and springy and has
lovely stitch definition. It hasn't made my hands dry
and scratchy - I think the 25% silk contributes to that. I will definitely be using this yarn a lot. My stash of soft, drapey yarns will just have to wait. I'm using the color Strawberry Tea and it's just luscious.

This yarn is beautiful and knits up like a dream. On a BFL/Silk base I found the shade to be less variegated than had assumed might be the case from the image. The color carries through the full strands and is beautifully consistent with a gorgeous sheen from the silk.

Lovely to work with BFL+silk yarn from Sweet Georgia. An even dye, too. Thank you

This yarn is beautiful and great to work with. I’m already planning y next project with this yarn!!
