What's New At Knitter's Addiction


Wonderful and Silky Sari Silk Yarns are Here! Help a Community WIth Your Purchase!

Geoff and Ann Chilman - Wednesday, March 25, 2009
Knitter's Addiction finally has its sari silk yarns!  We have sourced this from a community in Nepal where the money goes back to the spinners.  Making this yarn has provided a source of income for these women who do not have any other means of making money to support their kids and families. 

The quality of this yarn is some of the best I have found amongst the sari silk yarns for sale in shops.  The women have worked hard to keep the debris and sticks to a minimum (those who have tried this yarn know what I am talking about).  Their work has resulted in some beautifully spun skeins which are quite even and full of gorgeous colour! 



This yarn is great for many types of projects.  I particularly find it great for blankets, scarves, hats, jackets and items around the home (like pillow covers).  I also have found that you can mix it with some mohair to create some spectacular items with extra softness.  If you are interested in particular colours please let us know as we can always do a special order for you.  We hope you enjoy this fabulous and special yarn.
