What is Nm 20/2 in silk yarn?

The metric count (Nm) indicates how many 1,000-meter lengths of yarn are in 1 kg. It's written as count/ply. For example, 20/2 means the base yarn has 20,000 meters per kg (Nm 20), and it's a 2-ply yarn—so the final yarn has 10,000 meters per kg.

Is this silk yarn suitable for weaving?

Yes, the 100% Mulberry silk yarn is ideal for weaving. Its strength and lustre make it perfect for both warp and weft, producing fabrics with excellent drape and sheen.

Can I dye this silk yarn at home?

Absolutely. Mulberry silk absorbs dyes well, allowing for vibrant, customized colors. Using acid dyes designed for protein fibers will yield the best results.

How does this silk yarn compare to other natural fibers?

Mulberry silk is one of the strongest natural fibres, offering unparalleled sheen and softness. Compared to wool or cotton, it provides a luxurious feel and superior drape in finished projects.

What projects are best suited for this silk yarn?

This fine silk yarn is perfect for lace shawls, lightweight garments, and luxurious accessories. Its drape and sheen enhance the elegance of finished pieces.

Does this yarn have any elasticity?

Silk fibres have minimal elasticity, resulting in less forgiving tension. It's important to swatch and adjust your technique to achieve the desired gauge.

How should I care for items made with this silk yarn?

Handwashing in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent is recommended. Lay flat to dry, avoiding direct sunlight to preserve the fiber's integrity and color.

Is this silk yarn hypoallergenic?

Yes, silk is naturally hypoallergenic and suitable for individuals with sensitive skin, providing comfort without irritation.

Can this yarn be used for machine knitting?

Yes, the fine gauge of Nm 20/2 silk yarn makes it suitable for fine-gauge machine knitting, producing delicate and luxurious fabrics.

How does this silk yarn handle moisture?

Silk naturally wicks moisture, keeping you cool and comfortable. However, it can weaken when wet, so handle damp items with care.
