Wild Forests- Silkeskit

ATTENTION! The pattern is purchased separately directly from the designer Yamagara at Ravery https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/wild-forests

A very elegant oversized sleeveless sweater. It is knitted in a total of three silk yarns and one even has a mixture of Yak.

Wild Forests features harmonious hues of undyed yak and silk yarns that meet in this airy oversized sweater knitted with Shangdrok's three yarns: Silky Yak, Tussar Silk and Peduncle Silk.

The shirt is inspired by both Tibet and neighboring India. You can see the mountains, valleys and plateaus of Tibet in it. The fine floral lace that is knitted over the shoulders is inspired by slatted windows from India called Jali. 

The sweater has a nice fit with different patterns on the front and back of the sweater. Wild Forests is a great layering piece that is friendly and stylish with tops and dresses.

The Silk/Yak yarn is incredibly soft with a high shine and contains as much as 50% of both Silk and Yak

Then the sweater is knitted with both Tussah Silke and Peduncle Silke. Tussah silk is a wild silk from India. So they are wild silkworms. When the little caterpillar is ready to spin its stem into its cocoon, the Peduncle silk is formed. That silk is more rustic in a dark brown color and has short fibers. Then the little wild caterpillar spins on its cocoon and that thread becomes Tussah silk.

The beautiful linen Galsang that we also have kit in, is meant to be worn together with Wild Forest.
