silk yarn here
i was thinking of making a cashmere baby blanket with a silk yarn seed stitch border, probably a 2-4" border on a 40X40 blanket. how many skiens would you recommend? i think 3....maybe 4? TIA

p.s. anyone use this yarn before? have a nicer solution? btw-the mexico color isnt my first choice the sky bluegrass or cloud...something boy/girl nuetral.

I have never used it before BUT since its silk is there going to be a problem with washing/drying it..
BTW: the colorways are WONDERFUL~!

If the yarn is hand wash only, it may never get used. No new mom has time or inclination to wash baby things by hand.

the blanket will be for me...we are going to try for baby #2 when #1 is 2.5 i wanted to knit up a lovely nuetral layette. i am a slow knitter, so i figured the sooner i start the better! i dont mind handwashing a few things, just not everything

I have no idea but I would LOVE to make something out of that yarn. Sooooo pretty. I just can't bring myself to spend that much on yarn when I still don't feel my skills are quite up to it yet.
