YARN - Superwash Merino Wool Silk Pearlescent Fingering - (50:50) Smooth with a gorgeous gleam - A fingering weight version of our popular Pearlescent Worsted Weight!

MERINO WOOL is ultra soft, creamy to the touch, cloud-like and breathes so you stay comfortable and cozy. We had these spun with a very fine merino wool so it's incredibly soft and wonderful for next-to-skin accessories and garments.
MULBERRY SILK is a dream... it glows and gleams and takes the dye so well, that the colors just pop like crazy. It also contributes to the lovely softness.
~When you combine these two fibers into a single ply yarn like this, you get subtle differences in tone as the wool and silk take the dye slightly differently. The colors truly appear to be iridescent and other-worldly.
•1-ply : For ultra shimmer and glow!

•Superwash Merino Wool - Mulberry Silk blend (50% of each) - hand-wash only for best results. Super soft like buttah, with a shine that just won't quit.

Pure bliss
This yarn is the best I've ever worked with! So stunning in person. The color is a pure, rich, scrumptious red. And the yarn itself is pure bliss! The absolute softest I've ever felt. It's the perfect thickness and just plain luxurious. I can't wait to finish my sweater. Yum!
Breathtakinh

Oh My Gosh!!!!!
This was my very first Expressions Fiber Arts yarn purchase so I was super excited about that! As someone who has spent practically her entire knitting/crochet career using acrylic yarn from chain stores, this was a bit daunting of a purchase as I've never worked with a silk yarn before. Boy am I glad I ventured out of my comfort zone! The color is so true to a ruby and so stunning in person that I'm blown away and it's so soft that I just want to touch the skein and not knit with it! My almost 4 year old daughter picked this color out so I could knit a scarf for my mom for Christmas and I'm sure mom won't be disappointed! The color, the feel, the luxury of ruby is beyond anything I ever imagined in a yarn and can't wait for mom's reaction!
Heaven on Earth yarn squish!!!
This is an absolutely amazing yarn..... and perfect since it is the color of my birthstone :) The softness of this yarn is absolutely amazing, and I am beginning to feel really spoiled and not want to go back to the "cheaper" yarns...... AMAZING!!!
Heavenly
I have only wound a ball and did a swatch but this is the most wonderful product I have ever felt. I just wanted to keep knitting my swatch. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yummy Yarn
The color is absolutely beautiful and the feel so soft. Can not wait to knit something for myself. Thanks Chandi:)
AMAZING!
I have nearly "lost" this skein of yarn so many times since it arrived in the mail. Everyone who sees it wants it, and jokes about it mysteriously falling into their purse... The colors are incomparable, as usual. The yarn is squishy, soft, heavenly. I can't wait to knit with it - which will be soon!
Softness in Ruby
Wonderfully soft and a brilliant colour of ruby.
July's Ruby Silk Yarn
This yarn is so gorgeous that I am keeping it to make something for myself. I have not decided what yet. Right now I am working on a wool afghan for a Christmas present (yes, I know, in July.) WHEW.
So Beautiful!
I love the beautiful, rich color of the yarn. It is so soft and luxurious! Looking forward to making a shawl with it!
Soft and Shiny!
The yarn has a silky sheen to it that will look beautiful in a lacy shawl. It's the kind of elegant yarn that makes it worthwhile to spend the hours it takes to knit an intricate masterpiece!
True Ruby Red
This yarn is delicious to the touch, and has totally rich ruby reds throughout the skein !! It will work up beautifully for a pair of socks, or breathtaking as a shawl. I can't wait to work with it!!!
Soft, gorgeous
I haven't had a chance to knit with it, but it will knit up beautifully. I love the shades of Red from light to rich dark. If you love Red, this is for you.
