Jo Sharp Silk Road Aran,
made in Italy

Jo Sharp Silk Road Aran is a plied, tightly twisted, soft, slightly stretchable and lustrous yarn - a luxurious blend of wool, silk, and cashmere. Silk Road Aran is suitable for hand knitting of fitted clothes: sweaters, coats, jackets, cardigans, and accessories. Garments made of Silk Road are long-lasting, and have a luxurious, silky appearance. * We would like to note that there can be slight pilling after many washes. Do not wring out the garment, but gently press to remove excess water.
