It's recycled silk, cotton and viscose. I like the speckled look, but it looks a bit dirty or something... Quite unsure what to make with it.
I held the yarn double for the swatch. It is also wee bit smelly, like silk smelly, not very unpleasant but the smell persists even after a wash.
And I have a ton of it, a sweater worth.

This is the first time where I not just watch, but dare to comment.
I think the colour is lovely! It immediately makes you think of rustic/Aran/Irish style sloppy sweaters, fishermen and strong island people used to survive storms with attitude and know the names of all sails/ropes and what to do with them. I'm sure you'll come up with something amazing :)
I am with Hannah . . . a very pretty swatch indeed.

yup, it looks kinda good in the pictures :) I just wish it was wool, I much prefer wool to other non-elastic fibres...
i see it as a drapey, long, open cardigan, like snowbird? it would show off the texture and drape of the yarn...
thank you for suggestions!
