Road to China Light is a 3-ply strong, soft, shiny and drapey yarn with a lot of body perfect for luxurious, soft and warm items. The unique blend of fibers are spun into a smooth yarn and then kettle dyed, and the different way the fibers absorb the dye creates a beautiful depth of color with subtle heathered tones.
One of our favorite patterns is Chilkat Cowl by Rosemary Hill; use 2 skeins of your main color, and one each of the contrast colors.
