Kalang2 (Kalang means “earring” or “beautiful long feathers of birds”) is made from mulberry silk, and is the lace Kalang’s thicker “little sister”. It has a beautiful shine and is very strong (cannot be easily broken), making it an ideal material for scarves, and even tops. It is less stretchy than wool, but can still be blocked. However, it cannot be machine-wound into balls. That is why both Kalang yarns are not wound into balls but left in skeins, although they are dyed as gradients (and other gradients we wind to balls). Before use, they must be wound into balls and not used directly from the hank though.
Kalang2
400m/100g (800m/200g)
100% mulberry silk
hand wash only
We highly recommend Kalang2 for those who are sensitive to wool, as silk is guaranteed to be gentle on everyone.
This 200g-ball is ideal for bigger shawls (e.g. the largest version of our all time favorite “Oasis hideaway”) or tank tops – silk is a great material for summer!
