Dyed Silk Skeins   Home


All of these yarns can be use for weaving, knitting, crocheting or your art project

 

These colors are sold to me as being fast dyed. I have found that this is not always true. Since I can not control the conditions of use, washing, cleaning or pressing the purchaser should sure assure them self by testing that the dye fastness of the yarn is suitable for their intended use. It is recommended that silk be washed in cold water with a dye catcher.

Each hand tie dyed variegated silk skein can be different, this is the nature of tie dyeing.

 

Silk Lycra because it has a little stretch no yardage is given. 50 gram skeins $5.50 per skein or $.55 per gram

Lycra is a registered brand name for a polyurethane-based synthetic fiber that's also called spandex. The DuPont Company first developed Lycra in 1958 to replace latex rubber as a stretching agent in clothes. It's also prized for its strength and durability.
