This sari silk ribbon is a feast for the eyes! 1/2 inch thick sari silk remnants are sewn end to end to give you a rainbow of colors to work with! Each 12 or 14 inches a new color. This yarn is anything but boring!
Each 100g/ skein will give you 130 feet (ca. 39m) of rainbow colors. This yarn looks delicate, but it is tough. It would be perfect for often used bags or even rugs! What a luxurious feel to have a sari silk rug under your feet! Try knitting this yarn on size US 15 needles (10.0mm) or a crochet hook size USP. This will give you nice stitch definition.
There is a trick to choosing the colors! Each yarn has one color that is more prominent then the others. So if you love blue, please order the around the world in blue. Please make sure to mention your color choice in notes to seller before checking out.
