Fresh Supply of Hand Maiden Sea Silk!

There are now several new boxes of yarn in the house.   The package of Hand Maiden Sea Silk arrived a few days ago.  there are some lovely colors here.  

HandMaiden sea silk truly is one of the most beautiful and luxurious yarns on earth.  The yarn has a soft silky sheen and is hand painted in beautiful colors.  Each 100 gram skein has 400 meters 436 yards of yarn.  The gauge is 28 stitches over 4" on US 2 (3mm) needles.  Hand wash carefully and dry flat.

Celebrate the Sea with yarn made from Seaweed.  Sea Silk Yarn is made from 70% silk and 30% "seacell."  This yarn has an incredible drape and sheen.  You can read Clara Parkes review of this exciting yarn here at Knitters Review.  SeaCell®, is a relatively new fiber manufactured by the German company Zimmer AG and is related to "tencel."  Zimmer AG claims that the seaweed and its trace elements of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin E are naturally released onto the skin of the wearer.   The yarn is beautiful and is perfect for scarves, shawls and lace work.
