I'll go correct the post. :) <br /><br />I'm pretty stoked to knit these up, actually. We'll see how they turn out!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843130514951400882.post-30437264544719497852015-05-29T11:27:53.399-07:002015-05-29T11:27:53.399-07:00OMG I love that. Seriously. That silk yarn is so...OMG I love that. Seriously. That silk yarn is so fricking cool. Not so much the gold leaf though lol! It's illegal for them to claim the fibre content is different than it actually is, so as long as the fibre content section says silk it is! They can name a yarn "Silk scarf" or something and then list fibre content as rayon, but as long as that small print by the gauge and such says silk it is.<br /><br />Yes BTW to a cowl with it, I think that's a fantastic use!Karliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591484933005525101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843130514951400882.post-54388874409582139002015-05-29T09:04:40.001-07:002015-05-29T09:04:40.001-07:00Hmm, so definitely not polyester.

But it does say silk on the label, so I should probably trust it. :) <br /><br />Heh, would you like a gold leaf something? Toque? Cowl? Mittens?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843130514951400882.post-76126917490339011922015-05-29T01:08:40.604-07:002015-05-29T01:08:40.604-07:00Can you do a burn test on the yarn to check?

I love anything bling!MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.com
