Habu Textiles A-20 Silk Stainless Steel Yarn NEW Color 21 Violet Lace Weight DIY

Habu Textiles A-20 Silk Stainless Steel Yarn in Color 21 (Violet Purple.) New unused condition. Like linen or wool stainless steel yarns, the core is stainless steel and silk is wrapped around it. Because of the stainless steel, there is a memory in the yarn. Create something, twist it around! It will stay in that shape unless you straighten it out. It is probably easiest if you knit this yarn in 2 strands, however a lace stitch in a single strand is beautiful. If you have a difficulty casting on this yarn, please use another similar color/weight cotton or silk thread to cast on first then switch to a single strand on the 3rd row or so. Works fine as a warp yarn for weavers, but it is a bit tricky. If you are just starting to use this yarn, use it as a weft yarn first. 4-5 cones will be a whole knitted garment. Please note that the colors you see on the screen may not be accurate as each monitor displays differently.
