What is The Difference Between Wool and Silk Knitting Yarn

Eri silk is known to possess isothermal properties. Which means that it is an all-weather fibre, ideal both in summer and winter. Wool on the other hand, is known to be an excellent insulator of heat.
What are the differences between wool knitting yarn and Eri silk knitting yarn? First let us see how they are similar. Both are natural protein fibres – wool is from the fur of sheep and Eri silk from the cocoon of the Eri silkworm. Both can be regenerated. Sheep’s fur grows back. While Eri silkworm grows into a moth that lays hundreds of eggs once it emerges from its cocoon (from which Eri silk fibre is spun), in its short life span of 8 to 10 days. As you may know, unlike Mulberry silk where the moths are killed while they are inside the cocoon, Eri silk moths are allowed to fly away before the cocoon is processed and they live out their short life span. Let us look at the difference: Wool can feel scratchy when worn next to the skin whereas Eri silk will feel soft. Muezart’s Eri silk yarn is hand spun while wool yarn is mostly machine made. Hand spun gives the Eri silk knitting yarn a rustic look and the knitted product will be unique. Muezart’s Eri silk knitting yarn is hand dyed using natural plant-based dyes– which gives it an exclusive look. Wool knitting yarn available in the market are machine dyed – mostly using chemicals which are toxic. Eri silk yarn has thermal properties – it will keep you warm in the winter and cool and comfortable in the summer. Wool will be usable only in the winter.

Tips to Get Started with Hand-made Knitting Yarn To ensure best results, a few tips while buying hand-dyed, hand-spun knitting yarn: Estimate how much you will need for your project and buy at one go. Else the colour may vary when you order more, if you fall short, as hand-dyed result in subtle variations. in fact, different shades give it an extra beauty – especially when you know that the colours are nature given, without any harmful chemicals. It will be a good idea to use all the skeins together – say you have two skeins – then knit a few rows with one and the next few with the other. This will give a uniform mix of colour.
