Rich, soft and luxurious with wool, silk and cashmere fibres.
A textured DK weight yarn with rich tweed highlights.

If you haven't yet used Jo Sharp's Silkroad DK Tweed yarn, you will be very impressed with its softness. Its been a favourite with knitters since 2001. Its made with Superfine merino wool, silk and cashmere. Unlike many tweeds on the market, this yarn is not only for outer wear, but can be worn directly against the skin with no scratching.

The colour range is timeless, so the garment you invest in today will look the part in years to come.
