Damask is a flowing, lightweight blend of silk and linen, perfect for summer tops and accessories. The silk is sleek and smooth, punctuated by the less uniform linen fibers. The yarn has a 4-ply construction to create a balanced fabric. Like all yarns with this fiber content, Damask has very little memory or bounce, but excellent drape.
Miss Babs colorways will appear different on Damask than on wool yarns - the dyes they use are only taken up by the silk, not the linen, giving the yarn a softly heathered appearance.
65% cultivated silk, 35% bleached linen.
