Day 5 = April 27, 2014
I am going to head back to the luxury attribute of fiber content. There are soooo many different luxury fibers out there that I could not just tell you about the 2 that I have experience with. I feel to be fair that I must give you more!
First up we have Cashmere. Now, I felt cashmere for the first time today courtesy of Angela (my friend and owner of Lydia Yarn). It was so deliciously soft and just had a beautiful sheen to it. The picture below is from the YarnMarket.com website. The yarn brand is Stacy Charles, the yarn name is Ivy and it is 100% Cashmere. The Yarnmarket.com website says that "Ivy" yarn is SGS-certified as being produced with NO dyes or other harmful chemicals, so you're doing something good for the Earth too while indulging yourself. Beautifully crafted in Italy of 100% cashmere, "Ivy" also gives you a sensual knitting and crocheting experience."

Second, I have Silk for you. According to their website YarnMarket.com says, "We rely on Himalaya Yarns to bring us high-quality, exotic fibers at affordable prices, and their "Duke Silk" yarn surely fulfills our expectations. A beautiful, single ply fiber gem, solid-colored "Duke Silk" knits and crochets up as that versatile light worsted weight yarn for your year-round projects."
