These cones are 100 percent rayon. I have three available. They weight approximately 9 ounces each. The color is a very pleasing, translucent antique pink. They work especially well for weaving projects, but I use them also for plying with my wools and any singles that need to be strengthened or livened up a little. It's a lace weight yarn. I think it is lighter than my browser indicates. I call it "antique rose" --it is a shiny, but muted pink, like a pale pink rose petal, or some of the antique pinks you see in quilts. A lovely yarn.
