A terrific way to enhance Teva Durham's original Birch yarn in the new version appropriately called "New Birch" is to increase the luxurious silk content yet keep the price the same! We love the added softness and subtle sheen from the much higher percentage of silk, and they've also kept the rustic look that's been so popular. "New Birch" is totally interchangeable with original "Birch" in Teva's lovely patterns plus you now have a wider color palette available with more brights & neutrals. Sensationally crafted in Italy of 65% cotton & 35% silk.
