RED VELVET ROSE - rich, blackened rose red
YARN - Superwash Merino Wool Silk Pearlescent Worsted - (50:50) Smooth with a gorgeous gleam
Sure to be a favorite!
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. It has a lovely stretch and "memory" so it's a breeze to create hats, mittens, sweaters, socks, boot toppers, blankets and virtually anything else you'd need some elasticity and bounce for.
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!
•Worsted Weight: Ideal for next-to-skin accessories or sweaters, sweet baby items, blankets and so much more. Great for all skill levels, even beginners as it's a popular worsted weight thickness.
•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.
•Yardage: 201 m/ 220 yd
•Weight: Approximately 115 g / 4 oz
•Recommended Knitting Needle Size: US 6-10
•Crochet Hook Size: G-J
Note: Each skein is a hand-created, unique work of art and no two skeins will be identical, even within the same dye lot. If working with more than one skein in a project, it is best to alternate skeins every other row. Despite every effort to accurately depict our product colors, actual shades may vary due to differences in monitor settings.

Does not hold shape!
I need help! I purchased for my daughter who wanted a simple hat and description stated it is suitable for hats. After 2 weeks of wear - to and from work - it totally lost it's shape and just hangs on her head. I also noted that if not careful, when working with yarn, it fray - like when you put a knitted item in the washer and the yarn looks like a poor job of felting. I have bought a lot of yarns from you and have never had a problem. This problem hurts and really makes my daughter unhappy as she loves the feel, the color, everything but the lack of holding it's shape. *Store Note* We are so sorry you are unhappy with your yarn purchase. Feel free to e-mail me at contact@expressionfiberarts.com and we will find a solution for your concerns. We appreciate you!
True color
Just received and started project last night. Thought at first, I would have problems with splitting when picking up stitch - but absolutely not the case! It is going to work up beautifully! You never cease to amaze me with quality!
This is the most beautiful yarn I have ever used
This is the most vibrant, beautiful, and soft yarn I have ever used. I cannot touch it enough. Even my husband likes to touch the shawl I am crocheting because it is so soft. Thanks for such a high quality, beautiful product!
Fabulous yarn!
I absolutely love this rich red color! The yarn itself is soft with a nice sheen that almost glows. This one goes on the "buy again (and again)" list!! : )
just short
Love the yarn but i am disappointed that the 5 skeens is not enough to finish the shawl. I ran out about one third on the finishing row.
Gorgeous!
Gorgeous gleaming dark rose red! Feels fabulous! I can smell the Mulberry silk. The photo does not do this yarn justice! I love the soft feel of the merino and silk.
Gorgeous!
This dark red so really beautiful! I am making a scarf with it and the copper and it is sooo pretty! And sooo soft!!! Really nice to work with.
Beautiful!!!
I love the softness of this yarn and the richness of the colors. I made a scarf and have received lots of compliments. This color really pops when worn over black or gray.
