yarn glossary: silk summer

If you’re new to the crafting community or have even been a part of it for a while, you know that there are just so many different names and ways to separate the different yarn weights. Let’s be honest, it can be not only intimidating but also so confusing! I’ve been part of the crafting community for about 15 years and I still get confused. That’s why we have created the Yarn Glossary, a place to go for all things that have to do with names and weights, to help clear up any confusion while you’re yarn shopping. When talking about the weight of yarn, we are referring to how thick the strand of yarn is. Yarn weights go from 0-7, the higher the number is, the less stitches per inch you’ll have.

There's one base that we save for the warmer months, and we look forward to when it releases every. single. year. That base would be our silk, it comes in both sock weight and dk weight.

Silk might be one of our favorite bases over here at Sewrella HQ. The sheen, the softness, the drape, we honestly can't say enough good things about it! So of course we hade to share some of our favorite patterns on these bases for you!
