PLUME - 70% Extra-fine merino 20% kid mohair 10% mulberry silk Worsted Weight yarn, 170 metres/185 yards per 100 grams, 3 ply
If drape, softness, and shine are up your alley, Plume might just be the yarn for you! This beautiful worsted weight yarn combines extra-fine merino, kid mohair, and silk in a yarn full of shine and softness, along with a gentle halo. This yarn is next-to-skin soft for most (although it's not for those with mohair sensitivities) and it's great for just about everything: cables, lace, and even colourwork!
This yarn is a stock lot mill end, meaning that it was leftover from a larger run for another company. Catherine was able to purchase it at a good price, and uses mill end yarn sales to help support her work in Canadian wool - plus, it's a really great price for such a luxurious yarn!
