If
you want something soft and warm against your skin, ArtFibers Chai can
do the trick. Chai is 100% Tussah Silk. It has a very deep luster and
is extremely soft. It is also fairly loosely spun in places, so expect
it to fuzz a bit.
This project was a very simple stockinette top with waste shaping and cap sleeves. The V neckline is supported with K1P1 ribbing. I worked the project with the recommended size needles and got their recommended gauge (22s/28r per 4") but were I to make another garment out of Chai, I would likely go down a needle size. The fabric would still be loose and drapey, but the fuzz factor would probably be lower. |
