Why you'll love it

There's a quiet luxury to Eri silk. Hand-dyed in small natural batches, this 4ply has a soft, cotton-like handle and gorgeous stitch definition – it holds a stitch beautifully, so cables and texture really sing. The colours come entirely from plants and minerals, so every skein carries the gentle variation that only natural dyeing gives.

Eri silk is a 'peace silk', gathered only after the moths have left their cocoons, and it's ethically produced in northeast India. Because each colour is dyed by hand in small batches, we'd suggest alternating your skeins as you work – and no two dye lots are ever quite the same, which is part of the joy of a naturally dyed yarn.

This is a hand dyed yarn and each skein is unique. For best results, we recommend alternating skeins when you work with it.

Yarn Weight vs Yarn Ply

"Ply" technically refers to the construction of the yarn. It's the number of strands that are twisted together to make a single piece of yarn. While "ply" historically related to the thickness (or weight) of the yarn, today's spinning technology means that the number of plies doesn't always correspond directly to the thickness of the yarn.

However, in some countries, including Australia & the UK, the numbering system of yarn ply still refers to the thickness of the yarn, so it's possible to have a single ply 4ply yarn! - this means that the yarn is constructed of a single ply, but has the traditional thickness of a 4ply sock / fingering yarn).

For more information, please refer to our Hook, Needle & Yarn Guide and our blog A Quick Guide to Yarn Weights.

Bonnie's Daughter

Bonnie's Daughter is an Australian natural dye company, born from a love handed down through family. Founder Emily is the second of Bonnie's four daughters, and it was her mum who gave her a love of plants, fresh air and making things by hand. She works as a way of honouring herself, her birth-mother and her Earth-mother – and you can feel that care in every skein.

Her signature fibre is Eri silk, often called 'peace silk' – it's gathered only after the moths have matured and left their cocoons naturally, so nothing is harmed in the making. Ethically produced in northeast India, it also helps rural artisans share their heritage craft with a wider world. It's the kind of yarn that feels good to work with, in every sense.
