The yarn I received is their Roving Silk Yarn in the colorway “Watercolors.” It is a worsted weight yarn. They provide 50 grams or 75 yards of fiber. They recommend a 5.5-6.5mm crochet hook or 4-5mm knitting needles. The yarn is famously fragrant- it is hand-spun and hand-dyed in India and has a perfumed scent that I found to be pleasant. If it is overpowering to you, simply open the box and let the yarn breath or air-out for a few days. My particular yarn came in a small cake. It was dyed in various shades of red, yellow, green, and blue, with transition shades of pink, orange, and purple. This is not variegated- the color transitions are in a mix of short and long stretches so the yarn is quite a multicolored rainbow.

I got this box as well and somehow ended up with not enough yarn to knit the cowl (and I knit tightly). Maybe I will undo it and try the crochet pattern instead? I also found that after using the needles a lot, the purple tends to wear off. But they still are a good length and work well.
