Silk Tweed is one of the new bases from La Bien Aimée. It is great for Texas weather!
Not only does it have a soft feel, but its tweed texture adds dimension and depth to any project.
Knit Silk Tweed with a 3-3.5mm needle for a garment or if you want to make a shawl you could use 3.75mm to create a beautiful drapey fabric.
Silk Tweed is made of 100% Silk Noil. You may be asking yourself what exactly is Silk noil.
Silk noil, also known as ‘raw silk’, is made from the waste fibers inside the cocoon. Once spun, these small bits of broken fiber create this really interesting nubby matte texture that gives the tweedy aspect and feels like a really soft cotton. Silk also has lots of amazing properties: it is very breathable, yet warm, it keeps moisture away from the body and is perfectly comfortable to wear next to skin.
100% Silk Noil. 250m (273yds) for 50g. Recommended needle size: 3-3.75mm. Care: Handwash only
