This yarn is 200 yards of DK Weight (3) awesomeness. Dilldap is a thick yarn that works up in a flash. This yarn is created from 100% mulberry silk spun from the shorter fibers remaining after the primary reeling and spinning processes. This yarn is 3-ply, each ply a different color, giving the finished fabric a tweedy look. Traditional dyeing techniques are used to create this uplifting colorway. This yarn is perfect for sweaters, cowls, tops, shawls, baby blankets or anything you need from a worsted weight. This yarn is also perfect for macrame and thick woven projects. Care Instructions: Hand wash in the sink with cold water, using a light detergent such as Dawn Dish Washing Liquid, or similar gentle cleanser. In the first few washes, some of the overdye will come out. Squeeze gently and roll up in a towel to remove excess water. Lay flat and shape to dry.
