Silk yarn for knitting, crochet, and weaving
Silk yarn is strong, drapey, and full of shine. Shop 100% mulberry silk in lace weight and worsted, eri silk, silk noil, and blends including Zephira wool-silk, Marvel merino and silk, Exotica, and Bonmoher mohair silk.
Tips for working with silk yarn
Silk has almost no stretch, so it's perfect for drapey shawls, summer tops, and crisp crochet. Wood needles and hooks give more control than metal on slippery silk. It grows a little when washed, so swatch and wash before measuring gauge. Merino blends add bounce and are easier to knit.
