This yarn has been on my list to try for some time now. The material has an organic and dry feel, which is contrary to what I thought it would be. I do prefer this yarn over a linen based one, as I feel they share qualities; but Pure Silk has a better drape and softer feel. I am excited to finish my garment and see how the yarn wears over time!

This yard is going to work out perfectly. Great color great texture.

Had to get this swapped for an accidental delivery of mohair instead of the pure silk. Totally fine once that got swapped. My 3 star is mostly because the dye lot of the 4 i finally received were not the same and there wasnt any communication to check on that if they were low on a particular lot. I recieved 3 of the same lot and the fourth was a different lot.
