This is merino (50%)/mulberry sillk (50%) blend DK weight yarn. 225m/100g. There's absolutely nothing wrong with these in terms of quality or fibre, it was just me testing out how this lovely new base took softer dyes. The skeins were dyed together so they match if you want a project that needs 2 but if you only need one skein for a special project, by all means, it's yours. It's pretty much a variegated skein of soft pastels. Toned down sapphire and magnolia, softened sage, soft golden yellow, and light persimmon. The look is like watercolor masterpiece in skein form!
