Did Dolores O'Riordan record a cover version of Echo Beach? Walking home on Friday night from work, I had this as an ear worm, but it wasn't Martha it was Dolores???

I've got a 100gm skein of very fine silk yarn - do I need to do something with it to make it more manageable before I start to knit with it?
