About Artyarns Ensemble Light Yarn
Ensemble Light from Artyarns. A delectable DK weight combination of 1 ply silk and 1 ply cashmere with a slight twist where each of the two side-by-side strands take to the dye differently, and is ideal for a variety of knitted garments.

From the guides
- GuideCashmere and luxury fibers: what you are paying forWhy cashmere, silk, suri alpaca, yak and kid mohair cost what they do — fineness in microns, yield per animal, dehairing and hand-dyeing — what a 20% cashmere blend actually gives you compared with pure cashmere, where the money is worth spending and where it is not, how to buy luxury yarn by the yard rather than the skein, how to care for it, and the cashmere and luxury-blend lines we stock.
- GuideYarn brands we stock, and what each is known forThe 24 yarn and needle brands on our shelves, grouped by what they do best — hand-dyed merino, self-striping and gradient yarns, American and British wool, alpaca, luxury fibers, summer cottons and linens, needles — with the line to start with from each.
- GuideHow to substitute yarn in a patternHow to pick a yarn a pattern was not written for — matching gauge, yards per gram, fibre and construction — with the arithmetic for recalculating the number of skeins.
More from Artyarns
Artyarns is Iris Schreier's hand-dye studio in New York, and it works only in luxury fibre. Cashmere 1 is a pure cashmere laceweight, Cashmere Eco half recycled cashmere at DK, and Ensemble Light an even silk-cashmere blend. Merino Cloud puts cashmere into a fine merino for a sweater-weight that still feels like the good stuff. For shawls, Silk Mohair Glitter runs a thread of Lurex through kid mohair and silk, and Mohair Ombre fades a two-ply from one shade to the next. Every skein is hand-painted; we keep an order's skeins to one lot.
