Tibet Jewels is a recycled silk sari ribbon yarn that can be used for knitting, crochet, weaving, spinning with your favorite fiber, or wrapping presents. This yarn takes you from January to december and it will never feel "same old, same old." This beautiful, upcycled yarn is created by women in fair trade co-ops by collecting the remnants of sar silk fabric accumulated during the truing and trimming of the manufacturing process. The individual silk strips are about ¾" wide and sewn end-to-end to create this one-of-a-kind yarn! Each 100g skein has about 130 feet. If you have allergies to metals, please be careful with this yarn! It does have brocade in it which can contain metal threads.
