silk

An age-old raw material for indoor and outdoor clothing
Depending on how silk is spun and dyed, it can be highly lustrous and perfectly smooth, or matte and irregular. The finest mulberry silk, the thread unwound from the silkworm cocoon, is particularly luxurious and glossy. Bourette silk, made from the remaining cocoon fibers, is matte and much more affordable. Our silk tweed yarns from BC GARN, such as Sarah or Tussah Tweed, are also particularly interesting.
