Síoda is one of our favourite sellers. The yarn is soft, light and yet with a light drape. The high mulberry silk content gives it a beautiful sheen and a signature luxury similar to our yeti yarn. A pleasure to knit and a joy to wear.

Síoda is made from 50% Mulberry Silk and 50% Merino wool. The entire wool production is done in Peru from the raising of the sheep to the finished yarn. The mulberry silk is imported from China, but all is spun in Peru.

Once done, we apply the final colour touch, using only sustainable, no impact dyeing methods and organic ingredients.
