Pure Silk from Knitting for Olive is exactly what it says: 100% silk in a fingering weight with the drape, sheen, and cool smoothness the fibre is known for. Silk has no elasticity, so it's best suited to patterns designed for inelastic fibres: flowing garments, shawls, and accessories where drape is an asset rather than a challenge. The

Such soft, really high quality yarn. The only issues are that there is some splitting while working with it and it will tangle on itself very easily so be careful and I reccomend a yarn spinner or bowl while working with it to keep it from tangling on itself. It still gets 5 stars even with the issues because Im in love with the fabric created, it has the most beautiful drape but still feels quite substantial and sturdy. A perfect yarn for a lightweight fabric that does not feel too fragile.
