Gemstone Silks capture light and add dimension to woven fabrics. Made of the finest Chinese silk fibers, spun in Switzerland, and dyed in the United States, these silk yarns meet the highest standards. Silk has almost no elasticity and minimal shrinkage.
Knitters: Ribbings probably won't hold their shape to your liking so use hems or similar edge treatments. Better yet, use a soft wool or wool silk combination for ribbings. Although there are no patterns which use these yarns specifically, be creative and do gauge swatches to find the best match (usually fingering to sport). Avoid highly contoured patterns as detail will tend to disappear in the bumps.
Weavers: As the yarn doesn't full use a denser sett than for wools. For finishing, we recommend dry cleaning. If you've tested a swatch, you can try hand washing, and then rolling and hanging to remove dampness. Do not soak.
