I bought several cones in various colours of:
100% silk yarn on cone, lace weight, For hand or machine knitting, 150g
(5oz) cone, 2/28NM , £8.01, Postage: £1.50
from an ebay shop - ColourMartUK
I must send a sample to Brenda.
I don't know what 2/28NM means, but I'm sure someone here will. It's a spun
silk.
I bought one to start with to try it out for lacemaking, and I must say that
for the sample I made it was really great to work with. But then I always
say that silk tensions itself and it was soft and comfortable to touch.
Obviously it isn't suitable for fine work as it's intended for knitting, but
for scarves, waistcoats and similar I think it's ideal.
They also sell cashmere, lambs wool, and various mixes of cashmere, silk or
lambswool in different weights, but I was just interested in the 100% silk
