Silk Stainless Steel Lace Yarn | Scarf Garment Jewellery | Habu A-20
A beautiful and unusual yarn crafted by Japan artisans. The core is a fine stainless steel thread which is wrapped with luxurious silk to give us a lace yarn with "memory"!
Use this wonderfully unique yarn to give a gentle crinkly effect or a soft three dimensional finish to your handmade creation. Craft a fabulous garment, scarf, shawl, jewelry or textile art piece.
Available in stunning colours our Silk Stainless Steel yarn has a very elegant sheen and lustre. There is a gentle softness too – surprisingly there is no stiffness from the stainless steel.

Just received my first ORA order a couple of days ago. I'm so impressed with their quick processing and handling, and I love the mindful packaging. I can't wait to work with the yarn...it'll be part of my artwork for my solo exhibition latter this year at the Gladstone Regional Art Gallery.
Lovely fibre, beautiful colour, delivered quickly
Purchased during a mail strike. Seller kept in touch until mailing was possible. Unique steel yarn. Quick shipping once in the mail. A great Etsy purchase.
Lovely items, great service
I’m really pleased with this yarn, this is the third colour that I’ve bought and I have been so impressed with every one of them. This yarn shimmers so beautifully and the colours are perfect. I can 5 star recommend this all the way. Delivery was very fast and it was packaged well. Thank you 😊
