Hello

Habu Textiles Fiddlehead Cotton Silk, this is a very rare, traditional yarn from Niigata inNorthern Japan. It is made from mixing the fiddlehead fern cotton with silk. The result is a delicate, very soft, rustic yarn.
Habu Textiles Silk Stainless Steel 69% silk, 31% stainless steel. Originally used as an industrial yarn to create oil filters, this extra fine yarn has a core of stainless steel with silk wrapped around the core. Because of the stainless steel, there is a memory in the yarn.

Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend 30% silk, 70% merino extrafine wool, kettle dyed
Manos del Uruguay is a non profit organistaion which assembles over 400 artisans in cooperatives scattered throughout the countryside of Uruguay. The aim of the organisation is to bring economic and social opportunities to rural women.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to capture the true colour of this yarn. (Juniper 3043).
It is the most exquisite blue.
