Islington DK is a cabled four-ply yarn - an incredibly strong,
durable, abrasion-resistant yarn.
Well-bred but streetwise, this lightweight blend yarn is
versatile and strong while maintaining buttery softness - a sophisticated choice
for everyday items, luxurious next to skin wear and precious
accessories.
As soft as Merino, the blend’s 100% British superwash
Bluefaced Leicester tempers silk’s drape while adding strength and elasticity.
The high percentage of BFL makes items hardwearing, very low pilling and long
lasting. The addition of silk combines sophisticated sheen and luxurious handle
with crispness and uniformity for stunning stitch definition.
