Product Description

Zephyr is truly a luxury yarn.  Light and lustrous, it is made from 50% Merino wool and 50% Chinese Tussah silk.  

This listing for 1-lb Zephyr Cones is for the 2-ply lace weight (2/18) yarn. We also provide the same yarn on 100-gram cones and 50-gram skeins.   

We do not stock a large number of full 1-lb cones (number in stock is shown below each color). We can normally get any listed color to you within 7 days. 

Discontinued colors that we still have in stock will have an asterisk after the color.

Lace Weight (5,040 yds in a 1-lb cone)

Weaving Setts - varies, normally plain weave 18-20; twill 22-28

Knitting gauge - varies, normally use larger needle (size 1-4) for lace.  May use sizes 000-1 for closely knit stockinette.

Washing Instructions: Hand wash in lukewarm water using a fiber wash with minimal agitation.  Air dry.  

The dyed silk is not as resistant to fading as the wool; it is recommended that items made with the yarn not be exposed to strong natural or artificial light for long periods
