Silky Wool

Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool is a beloved DK-weight classic that blends wool, silk, and nylon into a yarn with beautiful texture, soft drape, and timeless appeal. Lightly nubby with a gentle matte sheen, Silky Wool creates fabric that feels warm yet airy, rustic yet refined — perfect for garments and accessories you’ll reach for all year long.

The silk adds a subtle glow and fluidity, the wool brings warmth and structure, and the nylon provides durability without sacrificing softness. Whether you’re making a lightweight sweater, a drapey shawl, or a textured accessory, Silky Wool offers a gorgeous balance of comfort, character, and stitch definition.
