Silk 'n Sabotage....



After some research - (http://www.woolworks.org/fibers.html)

"Silk is the fiber produced by silk moths. Silk knitting yarn is made from damaged silk cocoons and broken fibers. 'Raw' silk still has the original moth secretions in it. 'Tussah,' silk obtained from wild moths is brown. The food fed to domesticated moths determines their silk's natural color; this can white, green or yellow.

Silk retains heat, absorbs moisture, pills less than wool, is very strong and very stable when knit, neither shrinking or stretching."

Now I know....it wasn't me or my gauge...

The sheen, drape and stitch definition is magnificent. Overall, I am very pleased with how it turned out...
