How to Knit With Eri Silk Yarn?
Did you know that you can knit with Silk?
If not, then it's better you start now! But before I share some tips about knitting with Eri Silk, let's talk about the wonder of Eri Silk and its pros and cons.
Eri Silk is my favorite fiber. It's so gloriously soft, smooth, and has a sheen. Not to mention that it has a beautiful drape and is deceptively strong.
Ok, let's play a game of word association. I say, "silk," you may say, “silk", "satin", "fancy". We bet you don't say” “warm" or “woolly." Why?
Because its not synonymous with these qualities – warm and woolly – with silk, right? Eri silk fiber is different. So different that it surprises everyone.
The feel of Eri silk is one of our favorites. When you weave it or knit, your finished product will have the most appealing drape. The fall of the fabric will catch the eye of a passer-by.
Ever heard of the No-itch Woolly Silk?
Eri Silk is a natural yarn that is super soft, keeps you warm in winter (without the ‘woolly itch’), and cool in summer. This is due to the entire process being completely natural without the use of any toxic chemicals.
Hence, it is hypoallergenic which is tender to the skin by being soft and comfy.
Go all-natural!
Eri silk fiber is a protein, a naturally occurring substance. This naturalness is retained all through the processing steps – all hand-crafted – right up to spinning and weaving.Muezart’s Eri silk is hand-dyed naturally too - using only nature given ingredients.
