This stunning and amazing lace weight silk is a gorgeous example of how a beautiful and pure fiber can show best in the simplest form. This is the same beautiful silk single that Artyarns uses in its embellished yarns - but here it is purity itself, and alone, it shines just as bright - reflecting color, showing stitch definition, and sliding thru your fingers like, well, pure silk! With your purchase comes an instant download of the Silk Essence Pattern Collection - 5 fabulous patterns that feature 1 - 4 skeins of beautiful silk essence. Most of the shawl patterns use 1 skein, you can enlarge them all by continuing the pattern into 2 skeins, and the tunic uses 3 - 4 depending upon how large you want it to be.
