Cream and grey mix (70% silk / 30% cashmere)

80p per 5g ball

KCPSKB - KNITTING/CROCHET SILK

Imported from Germany and as used in the "Gildebrief" to make your Antique reproduction dolls socks.
An average 25g ball will make 5 pairs of doll socks - using size 0.75mm (21’s) knitting needles.
And to give you an idea of weight, it seems to be between the 60-count and 80-count crochet cotton in terms of thickness.

100% pure silk. Colours: some a bit obscure but I have tried my best to describe accurately; Antique white, buttery cream, peachy pink, pale aqua, light blue, peach, rosy mauve, light tan, pale olive, deep ruby and black.


£1.10 per 5g ball
£5.50 per 25g ball
Free sock pattern with permission from "Gildebrief" available with your order of this silk yarn.
Quote ‘Free Sock Pattern’ on your order form. (Pattern works using 4 x 0.75mm [21’s] needles)



KCPSUK - SILK YARN from the UK

100% silk yarn, appears to be a little finer than the 80-count thread. (Please tell me if I’m wrong - as I’m no knitter!) It is very soft and probably a pain to knit with, but I think it would be worth the effort. Fantastic for free style embroidery work.
Discontinuing when current stocks are out.

100% Silk yarn.
Colours; White, Yellow, Peach, Deep cerise, Purple


50p per 5g ball
£2.50 per 25g ball
I have now crocheted with the UK silk yarn and the results are just wonderful, and it is not so difficult to use, after all.
