A sumptuous fiber blend of fine New Zealand Merino and Mulberry Silk! The smooth, lofty texture of the Merino and the luster and drape provided by the silk makes this a truly luxurious blend. Create fine, lacy, and lightweight yarn for knitting or unique semi-worsted yarns for weaving.
At Paradise Fibers, we separate out the fiber so you don't need to buy an entire half kilo! We sell these slivers by the oz in any amount you'd like! So you can trial some fiber out and make sure you don't end up with way too much for a project!
