Remember this beauty? I've just found a few skeins in storage and discovered they weren't available to you! But they are now.....
It was on sale in the shop a few years ago at £12.50 each, now it's just a tenner each.
"A beautiful and unusual silk and mohair yarn, Faery Wings is a combination of a single ply of shiny silk wrapped with a strand of fluffy mohair and nylon to create a yarn with a wonderful handle and luxurious drape. Despite the textured appearance of Faery Wings in the hank, the yarn knits up into a smooth and even fabric with luxurious drape and a soft halo."
Made with 69% Mulberry Silk, 22% Mohair and 9% Polyamide, Faery Wings in 50g hanks with 175m/191yds per hank.
Recommended needle size 3.5mm needles which makes it about a sport weight, I've seen it used as a lightweight DK or as a 4ply on smaller needles to make a crisp, close knit.
Suggested tension in stocking stitch on 3.5mm needles: Before washing: 26 sts and 34 rows to 10cm/4in square, after washing: 24 sts and 33 rows to 10cm/4in square
Handwash cold and dry flat.
Please note - this yarn is not available in Pins & Needles in Snuff Street, Devizes but you MAY order it here and arrange to pick it up from the shop to save on postage.
