Silk Sari Twist
An absolutely delicious yarn, made from uncarded strips of sari fabric remnants. Suitable for knitting into bags, cords, wrapping, textile art, bowls, weaving and surface decoration.
The yarn is hand spun into gleaming hanks. Because it is hand spun, each hank is unique. As there are no dye lots, no two skeins are exactly alike. Skeins contain at least 50 metres of yarn, and cost wise represent very good value indeed.

Silk Twist
Himalayan Recycled Silk Yarn
Not really a fab, but fits in with the sari theme of this page. This yarn is made from remnant fibres from the silk weaving mills and from old silk saris. The fibres are shredded and respun by hand into this beautiful multi coloured yarn. The 100 gm skeins contain at least 80 metres of yarn, and price wise represents very good value indeed. Because there are no dyelots, no two skeins are exactly alike.
