knitting with unspun silk
i've had a longstanding desire to knit with unspun silk. and since i just happened to have a silk cap lying around, i pulled it, and started knitting some swatches with it.
catches on every microscopic shred of skin on your hands, it does. but then again, this stuff didn't break ONCE -- not once, in the pulling OR in the knitting. that's pretty amazing for something so ethereal.
