In the skein, this 100% silk yarn is surprisingly stiff like corn husks or straw. This offers an excellent amount of control while knitting it up, then when your finished project is soaked and wet-blocked, the stiffness melts away into the drapey, buttery softness that only 100% silk can bring. Be sure to also view its variegated version, Alchemy Silken Straw Colourways, as well as Alchemy Silk Purse Colourways, Haiku Elements, and Haiku Colourways - true jewels of the yarn world.

Alchemy Yarns of Transformation creates luxury hand-painted and dyed fiber for knitting, crocheting and weaving. Specializing in natural noble fibers including silk, wool, mohair, cashmere and bamboo, Alchemy uses environmentally-friendly processes and only supports ethical manufacturing practices throughout the supply chain.

**Please note that the photos of each colourway are of Alchemy's Silk Purse yarn rather than Silken Straw, but are true to colour. The cover image is a skein of Alchemy Silken Straw to portray the lovely texture, in the colour Pink Tourmaline.
