Our 15/3 yarn is 100% Eri silk which is a great yarn for crochet and knitting hand-made lace clothes.
Eri Silk is a natural yarn that is soft, keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.
It is an all-season yarn for all your knitting projects or crochet projects.
You may have experienced using wool or other types of fiber to knit a beanie or a sweater. Use this 15/3 Eri silk in your next project and it will leave you mesmerized. Groovy thermal properties will keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. Soft and gentle on your skin keeps the itch away.
This yarn is slightly thinner than fingering yarn but the slubbiness of this yarn makes a great texture for knitting socks, a lace shawl, or even a beanie. One skein will be more than enough to knit a beanie. Or weave a 15 x 75-inch wrap using this yarn in both the warp and weft.
Indie dyers love dyeing with our super absorbent Eri silk yarn. Many prefer to show off the sheer elegance of the natural color of Eri silk.
Eri silk is antibacterial and its hypoallergenic properties have a natural resistance to dust mites, mold, and fungus in addition to many other allergens.
What’s it like to work with?
The yarn is easy to work with but needs to unwind the skein by hand. The high quality and the lovely soft feel are what you’re going to expect from this versatile yarn.

Great!, looking forward to starting a job
I usually don't review yarn until I have completed a garment, but in this case I feel comfortable doing so after knitting a gauge swatch for my first project.
I ordered 1 kg of yarn, and after receiving it ordered another kg because I want to make several garments. I don't often order internationally, and was a little nervous about how long it might take to get the yarn through Customs (into the USA) and whether there would be import duties. Muezart shipped both orders within a few hours after I submitted them, and both arrived quickly. In fact, I placed an order from a domestic (US) source at the same time I placed the first Muezart order and both arrived on the same day. There were no additional costs.
The Muezart website depicts the yarn accurately. It is, as they say, a light fingering-weight yarn. My gauge is 7 stitches and 10 rows per inch on size 0 needles...they recommend size 1-3, but I always use smaller needles so this is consistent with their recommendations. The texture is slubby and irregular with thick-thin spots (this is easily viewable in the website photos of the product). It is very soft and knits easily. One of the reasons I like silk for warm-weather knitting is that I find cotton hard to knit with...it seems to 'resist' being knit and fatigues my hands. Linen (which I adore) is even worse: it's like knitting with wire. Eri silk has neither of these issues. Even at the end of a very long knitting day I was able to bang out a gauge swatch with little additional fatigue.
The website warns that the yarn must be wound by hand. I was prepared to jettison the ball-winder, and that was necessary. I've only wound two hanks at this point. One of them I was able to wind with the ball-winder (slowly and carefully...an electric winder would not have worked), but the other I had to wind by hand because the strands in the hank were tangled with each other and I had to pass the ball through loops in order to wind it. Fortunately, the yarn is very strong, so there was no breakage. I suspect, just by visual inspection, that some of the other hanks will be windable with the ball-winder and others won't.
I am extremely happy with this product. It is exactly what I hoped it would be. Think of it as "raw" silk as opposed to mulberry silk, which has a shiny and regular finish. One advantage it has over mulberry silk is that it doesn't snag. I have made multiple garments with mulberry silk and its tiny, fine filaments can snag on almost anything (like a hangnail or rough skin on your fingers) and produce teeny fuzzy bits. Eri silk has a completely different texture and will produce a less fragile finish. I highly recommend this product, and I am very happy with Muezart service.
