Silkroad is a blend made from 80% Wool, 15% Silk and 5% Cashmere fibres, chosen for their length, strength and softness. Wool gives warmth, Silk lends lightness and Cashmere adds luxurious softness to Silkroad yarn. The natural crimp and elasticity of Jo Sharp Silkroad yarns make knitting very satisfying
Care Instructions Hand Washing - For the best result, turn garment inside out and gently hand wash in lukewarm water, using a wool detergent. Rinse thoroughly in lukewarm water. Rinse again in cold water. Drying - To remove excess moisture after washing, roll garment inside a large towel and gently squeeze, alternatively, spin dry inside a pillow case. Never tumble dry. Place garment on a flat surface in the shade to dry, coaxing it back into shape whilst damp. Drying flat is recommended. Do not dry directly in front of an open or artificial fire. Dry Cleaning - Generally is not recommended as residual dry cleaning chemicals tend to harden wool fabric.
