It is beautiful - and looks wickedly expensive too. Really, you cannot
buy that quality regardless of price. Thank you.

Here's the best part - I found the yarn at Elann.com on line (NAYY). I buy
from them all the time. Their yarns are ends of lines, closeouts, etc. The
silk/cashmere yarn was $4.98 US/$5.78 CDN a ball! I only used not quite 2
balls.
I had tried Googling the yarn, but it must have been discontinued as I
couldn't find it. It is Diamond Desire, made in Italy for Diamond Yarns.
It's a DK weight, 150 metres. It's actually 75% silk, 25% cashmere... I
originally overstated the cashmere, but it's so soft, who worries about 5%?
I also bought 6 balls of the cafe au lait colour to maybe make a shawl, and
have decided if I do, I'll put beads on it to jazz it up. The colour is
quite boring in comparison to the cherry red.

That was a bargain. The cafe au lait may be more neutral than the red
but it will be more versatile for "mixing and matching" with different
outfits.
Elann is a lovely site and I must admit I downloaded their free crochet
pattern for a bedspread.

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
