This is not your average silk. This is bourette silk—soft, luxurious, and spun from fibers collected after the little moths have lived their best cocoon life, spread their wings, and flown off. (Yes, the butterfly on the label isn’t just cute—it’s proof that the chrysalids got their happily-ever-after.)
Silk is basically nature’s multitasker:
- Heat-regulating: cool in the summer, cozy in the winter.
- Moisture-absorbing: it can hold up to 30% of its weight in sweat without feeling damp (a superpower your gym clothes clearly don’t have).
- Insulating: keeps warmth in when it’s chilly, just like wool.
It’s an all-season yarn that feels incredible against your skin and works beautifully for garments you’ll actually want to wear year-round.
Even better? The spinning mill behind it follows strict ethical, technical, and environmental standards, so you’re getting a yarn that’s as kind as it is gorgeous—completely free from harmful chemicals.
Yardage: 273 yd / 250 m in 50g
Needles: 2-5 US / 3 mm
Gauge: 28 sts and 38 rows = 10 cm
Care: Hand-wash in cool water, dry flat
The yarn is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified.
