Knitting for Olive Pure Silk has landed in space, just in time for warm weather knits! We have fallen in love with the Knitting for Olive line of yarns and are excited to add a new base for spring. This 100% pure raw silk fingering weight yarn is perfect for lightweight summer garments and scarves. It is also sustainably produced – the little butterfly on the label indicates that the chrysalids were allowed to escape the cocoon before it was harvested, thereby allowing them to complete their life cycle.
