Flannel sheets plus silken shine

This yarn is positively my favourite ever. Like any vegetable fiber yarn, it does not have a lot of give, so people can find it hard on the hands. But I think it rewards patience.
I have worked knitted lace, crocheted lace and stockinette/slip stitch colour work in this yarn, always with excellent results. It comes out so very soft to wear, and yet with an unmatchable lustre from the silk.
Also, this yarn cooperates wonderfully with the Russian join method of joining in yarn which means fewer ends for me to deal with at the end of a project!
