Ashford Silk Merino Fibre - 100g
You want your spinning fibre to feel soft in your hands and glow with a subtle sheen, but not every blend delivers. Ashford’s Silk Merino Fibre combines the warmth of fine merino with the shimmer of silk, giving you a smooth, luxurious spin from start to finish.
Working with fibre should feel like an extension of your creative rhythm. But sometimes the fibre you start with falls short—maybe it’s too coarse, too sticky, or just doesn’t draft how you hoped.
This is where a beautifully balanced blend makes all the difference. Ashford’s Silk Merino Fibre combines the soft, fine handle of 22-micron New Zealand merino with the gentle shimmer of silk. It drafts like a dream, whether you’re spinning laceweight for knitting or semi-worsted yarns for weaving. The silk adds just enough structure and sheen, while the merino keeps things airy, warm, and incredibly soft to the touch.
There’s a quiet joy in watching fibre glide through your fingers, forming yarn that feels even better than you imagined. Colours blend subtly or shine boldly, depending on your twist and intent. With 20 thoughtfully dyed colourways to choose from, you can follow your mood, your project, or your palette with ease.
