PF Summer Silk/Flax/Merino Blend - Gonzo

There’s always that one friend who steals the spotlight without even trying — that’s Gonzo. Bold, textured, and endlessly fascinating, this fiber blend brings together 38% Mulberry Silk, 12% Tussah Silk, 25% Flax, and 25% Merino Wool to create a spinning experience that’s as unpredictable as it is rewarding.

The Mulberry Silk provides that polished, pearly gleam; Tussah Silk adds a kiss of gold and rustic character; Flax lends strength and breathability; and Merino Wool ties it all together with warmth and bounce. The result? A fiber that drafts like a dream and finishes with shimmering depth and dimension.

Spin it sleek and tight for glossy, structured yarns that shimmer with dual-toned light, or let it drift and bloom for an organic texture full of movement and life. Gonzo doesn’t just spin beautifully — it performs on the wheel, keeping you guessing with every pull of the draft.

Spin Tips:

• Try a short forward draw to emphasize the silk’s radiance and achieve a polished, lustrous finish.

• For a more rustic charm, go for a long draw to let the Tussah silk and flax playfully texture the yarn.

• Finish with a gentle soak and thwack to open the fibers and reveal the blend’s subtle shimmer.

Project Ideas:
Gonzo shines in draped shawls, textured cowls, woven scarves, lightweight sweaters, and handwoven panels where the interplay of silks catches the light. Perfect for anyone who loves a fiber with a little drama and a lot of heart.

Gonzo — the life of the spinning party, glowing with mischief and silk.
