Casasol Luxury Silk Yarn – Hazelnut

Description

If you want silk yarn in hazelnut for an elegant piece you can wear every day, Luxury is a great choice. It blends 50% Mulberry silk and 50% Bemberg™ Cupro, a premium fiber made from cotton linters by Asahi Kasei (Japan), and offers a silky hand, a natural sheen and a very fluid drape.

Color Hazelnut: the warm neutral that never gets boring

Hazelnut is a warm light brown that goes with everything. In silk it gains depth: the sheen adds soft golden highlights that make a neutral look sophisticated. It is lovely in ponchos and stoles for autumn, and pairs well with denim, linen, off-white and muted greens. It is the safe choice if you want a piece that will last for several seasons.
