*****

Swiss Mountain Silk, nestled in the majestic Alps of Switzerland, and Hand Maiden, alive with color in the bracing terrain of Nova Scotia, have combined forces once again, yielding up a superlative DK yarn that is aglow with color and evocative with its drape and flow. There is a understated quality about this fiber that brings the eye back to it again and again - you'll find that anything you make in it reverberates with interest and the sort of beauty that arises in the mind's eye long after it has left your field of vision. It's as if it had a soft, gentle voice of its own, one that engages all who see it in conversation about all that is lovely in the world. Not to mention that it is a joy to knit!

**Remember that any yarn with this much silk will stretch 20-30% upon blocking. To arrive at your gauge, always knit your swatch, rinse, block, dry and then count your stitches.
