"Indulgence features a 20% silk addition for comfort and strength. It's heavier than normal sock yarn (more of a DK weight) so you can knit up a super luxurious sock quickly on a size 3 needle! This wonderful yarn is also ideal for scarves and garments. The only problem is choosing a color! They are all fabulous - we couldn't manage to pick a favorite :-) DK Weight 55% Merino Wool, 25% Nylon, 20% Silk 426 yards per 150g Gauge: knits to 5.25 sts per inch on a US 3-6 needle."
