Elastic Silk
We offer two types of elastic silk from Japan. The first is a blend of silk and Elite’ and comes in Black and White only. It has a shrinkage 0f 30-35%. If used in the warp, you may want to warp separately so that you can better control tension. Epi: 30-45
The second yarn is a blend of silk and polyurethane and will shrink 50% or more depending on the structure you select. It comes in 10 beautiful colors. Note that this yarn is EXTREMELY elastic and may be more challenging as a warp. Also, it is not suitable for machine knitting. If used in the warp, you must keep it in constant tension while warping and threading. Warp separately. Epi: 50-60
