Soy Silk® is made from the proteins in Soy – a renewable resource. The fiber is soft like silk yet warm, like cashmere. It wicks away moisture and has a soft, gentle drape. Interestingly, Henry Ford first thought of the idea of Soy Silk in the 1940s. However, during WW2 the government chose to endorse Rayon and Nylon and it would be decades before Soy fiber came to fruition. Now, this stunning fiber is available from South West Trading Company for spinning, knitting, crochet, and weaving. The company has rich, elegant colors that are designed around collections of variegated yarn paired with complimentary solids, enabling the artist to find yarns that match together for whatever fabulous projects they dream up! Oasis is a finer Sport Weight Yarn and is available in 16 colors.
Oasis is sold in 100 gram, 240 yard balls with the suggest guage being 5stiches , 8 rows in 1 inch on a US size 6 knitting needle. Oasis is 100% Soy Silk®!
