Totally worth clicking to get a bigger view, it's such beautiful yarn, hand-dyed in a slightly variegated and shiny pale green. Picked up at Artfibers in San Fran (Made exclusivley by Artfibers).
I purchased 1 cone which is enough to make a full size women's medium sweater. It cost around $60 for the cone. With the silk content I would say thats a good price! I like it more then any other silk yarn I have purchased (except "Pure Silk" which I adore but doesn't have the same fuzzy-sweater texture this does. This seems more casual for everyday wear. Also I would have to say this cost a bit less then "Pure Silk" does.

We were in San Francisco last October and I found Artfibers too. I love that place. I do miss your podcast, but I know you are busy. Love the blog though. It almost makes me want to try blogging.
