Issue 247 – Classic Silk Tee Silk is a fiber imbued with romance...its name is synonymous with strength, luxury, rarity, and some might even say intrigue. Luckily for us, silk is much easier to get your hands on today than it was, say, on the Silk Road in ancient China. All you have to do is stroll down to your LYS and pick up a few balls. Classic Silk is a blend of cotton, silk and nylon. Soft, durable, and a little slubby, it makes a pleasant fabric in stockinette or more complicated stitch patterns. The 25 soft colors are all complementary, which makes it great for simple colorwork. Shake up the color choices in this simple tee with a colorwork yoke from Susan Mills, and make it your own!
