Why Silk Blend?

See Tal from Morris & Sons talk about Manos Silk Blend's beautiful knitting yarn range. Tal started helping her mother, Ruth Morris back in their first cute very small craft store in Rose Bay (Sydney) helping customers learn the art of Tapestry. Now 45 years later Tal is an authority on Knitting and Crochet after helping thousands of customers with every type of Knitting/Crochet project imaginable. Here in this video learn why we love the Manos Yarn range and the unique qualities of Manos Silk Blend Knitting Yarn. Enjoy!
