Precious is simply elegance in a yarn. Delicate but very strong, its radiant shine is breathtaking and can compliment any attire with an exquisite shawl or scarf. PRECIOUS- 2 ply lace yarn - 100% Pure Silk. 1000 metres /1090 Yards per 100gms (1 skein). Suggested needle size 1.5mm – 2.5mm Our photos are taken outside in natural light, as this reveals the glow factor of the dyed colours so when you see them in artificial light they may be slightly different. The 500gm packs of skeins come from the same dye bath, however due to the dyeing process there is a small colour variation from skein to skein. Our yarns are washed twice however occasionally the yarn may still contain harmless dye residues. This may rub off on your hands and can easily be washed off using soap and warm water. Washing instructions: Do not use vinegar to try and set the colour as it is used as a colour modifier in natural dying and may alter the colour of your yarn. Do not use any other biological washing powders or colour modifiers as this also may also have an effect on the colour. Hand wash your garment in warm water (if it’s too hot for your hands it’s too hot for your yarn) with a simple dish washing detergent. Pricing information: Prices shown are VAT inclusive.
