Sesia · Selinde 6000 · 600m/100g (656yds/3.5oz) · 100% Silk (Se)

Selinde 6000 by Sesia is a pure silk lash yarn of remarkable character. Fine silk lashes radiate from a delicate core thread, creating a soft, feathery halo that brings extraordinary lightness and movement to every fabric. 100% silk delivers a natural luster, fluid drape, and a sensory quality that only pure silk can offer.

This yarn breathes. It needs open, airy fabric construction to fully express its texture — loose gauge allows the lashes to stand free, creating a soft, luminous surface with depth and dimension. Worked too tightly, the lash effect is lost. Worked with space and air, it becomes something truly exceptional.

Selinde 6000 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as a companion thread, adding silk's natural sheen and feathery texture to any combination.

Versatile Use

Designed for open, relaxed knitting and crochet, Selinde 6000 works in 1 or 2 strands. The lash structure requires larger needles than the meterage suggests — this is intentional. Air is part of the design. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Ideal for shawls, wraps, lightweight tops, scarves, and layering pieces where texture and translucency define the garment.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool water

Use a mild detergent suitable for silk

Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface

Do not wring, twist, or agitate

Silk becomes weaker when wet — handle with extra care

Steam lightly at low temperature if necessary

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. Pure silk may relax after washing, altering both gauge and the lash effect. Always swatch on the needles you intend to use — open gauge is key to this yarn's character.
