With approximately 320 meters per 100 grams, this sport-weight yarn offers a beautiful balance of lightness, texture, and elegant fiber composition, making it ideal for statement pieces and modern summer designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"483\" data-end=\"798\"\u003eThis is not a traditional smooth yarn — it is all about texture and visual interest. The eyelash structure creates a soft, airy, almost grassy surface that adds movement and dimension to the fabric. Silk brings subtle sheen and strength, while cotton keeps it breathable, wearable, and comfortable against the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"800\" data-end=\"1182\"\u003e▣ \u003cstrong data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"828\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"831\"\u003e• Manufacturer: HASEGAWA, Japan\u003cbr data-start=\"862\" data-end=\"865\"\u003e• Article: FRUIT ZEN VER\u003cbr data-start=\"889\" data-end=\"892\"\u003e• Fiber Content: 50% Silk, 50% Cotton\u003cbr data-start=\"929\" data-end=\"932\"\u003e• Yarn Category: Sport Weight \/ Textured Yarn\u003cbr data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"980\"\u003e• Yarn Count: Nm 300\u003cbr data-start=\"1000\" data-end=\"1003\"\u003e• Yardage: approx. 320 m \/ 351 yd per 100 g (3.52 oz)\u003cbr data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1059\"\u003e• Texture: Grass-Like \/ Eyelash Yarn\u003cbr data-start=\"1095\" data-end=\"1098\"\u003e• Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)\u003cbr data-start=\"1154\" data-end=\"1157\"\u003e• Origin: Made in Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1534\"\u003e⋔ \u003cstrong data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1202\"\u003eSwatch Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1202\" data-end=\"1205\"\u003eI made my swatch using US size 4 needles, and it was very easy and enjoyable to knit. The yarn moved smoothly, and I really liked working with it. After washing, I did not notice any major change in the fabric structure. The swatch simply became a little furrier and even more beautiful — it started to look almost like real fur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1536\" data-end=\"1736\"\u003eI also did not notice any fiber loss during washing or after drying.
