the most gorgeous colors, rendered in SILK!
Silk absorbs color like no other fiber on earth the Debbie Bliss Pure Silk colors absolutely GLOW. They look like the yarn has been illuminated from within. Knitted up, the yarn FEELS much different than I thought it would it's not crunchy like a lot of silks. It's a very low-twiat yarn, so it feels super-SOFT & the DRAPE is exquisite. Shows off cabling & other fancy stitchwork to maximum advantage. If you like to knit, YOU WILL LOVE THIS YARN!!!!!

my new favorite basic yarn
I've bought this yarn in oodles of colors & the first garments I knitted using Tupa were so encouraging that I intend to use it over & over again in the future. The silk adds a subtle luster that makes the colors look even richer and makes the stitch definition really POP! Since this yarn is 1/2 merino, I'd say use it for autumn/winter/early spring garments but it's not TOO warm for indoor garments to be worn during those cooler months, since Tupa is also 50% silk the GREAT insulating fiber cools you down in warmer temps, warms you in cooler temps. Sure, this is a luxury yarn but it has also become my new basic yarn for everything, everything, everything!
