SÍODA

Mulberry Silk & Merino Wool | Fingering Weight | Naturally Dyed

Síoda is one of the most luminous yarns in our range — combining softness, drape and the unmistakable sheen of silk.

Made from a balanced blend of mulberry silk and merino wool, this yarn offers strength, breathability, and exceptional comfort against the skin. The silk contributes its characteristic sheen and fluid drape, whilst merino wool provides elasticity, structure and warmth.

Soft and elegant, Síoda moves effortlessly on the needles and creates garments with gentle drape and quiet luxury.

The merino wool is sourced and processed in Peru. Mulberry silk from China is blended and spun with the wool in Peru to create the finished yarn. Each skein is then naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using traditional, sustainable natural dye methods and organic dye materials.

Natural dye colours develop beautifully on this fibre blend, creating rich tones with depth and subtle variation.
