This is a new style of Sari Silk. It is made from leftover, unused sari weft threads. They are colour picked then Handspun using a wheel (Gandhi Charkha) to produce a smooth & lustrous yarn.

The vibrant colors and unique texture of Sari Silk yarn is well know, however making yarn from weft threads takes this concept to the next level in terms of usability and feel.

Suggested needle size: As the skeins are variable, I’d sugest from 5 – 7mm. YMMV.

Each skein in unique in its random jewel-like colours, however, they all usually have one predominant colour, and there are many “skein twins” to be had (That’s part of the fun when you order this yarn!).

Therefore, please note in the personalisation box below from what colour family you would like your skein(s) chosen if you have a preference.

As well as Knitting or Crochet, these are also great for Embroiderers to use, as there is usually a great range of colour per skein, the threads are very long and so it is a very economical way to acquire embroidery silks!

After-care of your garments: Hand wash in cool water and dry flat. Cool iron if required. You can also get them hand dry cleaned.

Either the silk used is rougher than usual, or it has a much tighter spin, as the skeins feel stiff. Hence the reduced price.
However, I think these would be great for textile artists, couchers, fine embroiderers and machine embroiderers to play around with. The threads are very long and so it is a very economical way to acquire embroidery silks!.
