CORMORANT SILK - 75% Falkland Cormo 25% Mulberry Silk Fingering Weight Yarn, 400 metres per 100 grams, 4 ply, non-superwash
Of all the fine wools, Cormo is my absolute favourite, so I was so pleased to find this gorgeous 75% grey Cormo 25% mulberry silk fingering weight yarn. It will make wonderfully squishy and soft garments and accessories, but because Cormo is such a crimpy wool, this yarn has a bit more structure than most wool/silk blends, giving it just a bit of drape, but not too much.
The wool for this yarn was sourced from the Falkland Islands, a region known for its excellence in animal husbandry, and was processed & spun in the UK.
