Yarn, Crochet and Knitting
Sari Silk Yarn: The rich, color-fast jewel tones of turquoise, jade, magenta, sapphire, and emerald give this yarn a wonderful depth of color. Since this yarn is not created in dye lots, every skein is unique and will produce one-of-a-kind, dramatic results when knitted up.
How the Yarn is Made: Sari silk yarn is made from the same silk used to make the colorful Saris worn by many women in South Asia. When Saris are made on a mill, the ends of the silk fabric are trimmed off. To keep this beautiful silk from going to waste, the fibers from the trimmed ends are handspun spun into recycled silk yarn. This cottage spinning industry benefits women's development groups, helping them generate additional income.
