Our Shepherd's Silk fiber is composed of 50% wool and 50% silk. Each skein is composed of 15 yards. Older Colors composed of 10 or 20 yards.
It is not recommended that Shepherd's Silk is ply-ed down, as the strands do not separate well.
Suited for wool applique, surface embellishment, needlepoint, embroidery, and cross stitch on Ada for a thick or clump stitch. It is a very soft fiber with the sheen of silk.
