item #: NS-1 handspun silk 6 monme content: 100% silk yardage: N/A (I think it is approx. 1000-1500 yds./skein) regular price: $12.95/oz. weight: lace/weaving unit size: approx. 2 oz. skein suggested epi for weaving: 5 suggested needle size for knitting: US no. 6-9 THIS is a beautiful soft silk. I have used it personally quite a bit. It is a handspun silk, and has a fine raw silk wrapped around it for an additional strength. You can use it as a warp yarn, but must starch it well. Will be wonderful if someone will make a lace knit shawl... The entire shawl will probably fit in your palm.
