Lang Yarns Jawoll Silk (192) knitting yarn

Lang Yarns Jawoll Silk is a beautiful, strong yarn made from Tussah silk and Corriedale sheep wool. This type of silk is wild silk, obtained from the caterpillars or cocoons of free-living Japanese oak silkworms. The yarn is also slightly stronger than mulberry silk - an unwound cocoon typically yields 1200-1400 meters of silk thread. Only the best part of the wool is sorted during the shearing of JAWOLL SILK. The average fiber thickness, or diameter, is only 25 microns (1 micron = 1/1000 mm), making the wool feel very soft and extremely comfortable to wear. Corriedale sheep live year-round in the natural wilderness of Patagonia. Due to the low food supply, their wool remains white and grows to an average staple length of 10 cm. This allows it to absorb dyes well, resulting in vibrant colors, and the finished yarn is very resistant to pilling (knot formation). These Swiss Lang Yarns Jawoll Silk threads are perfect for knitting socks and sweaters. They also pair well with mohair or silk. Therefore, they are an excellent match for Lang Yarns Lace yarns. Knitted garments are recommended to be washed on a wool cycle at temperatures up to 40°, do not use fabric softeners.
