Our Soft Silk from BC Garn is spun from bourette silk. It has the pleasant climate-regulating properties of silk, but isn't as cool, smooth, or slippery as many mulberry silk yarns. This is because, after the long-fiber mulberry silk is harvested from the main part of the cocoon, the remaining fibers are used to produce bourette silk. This "by-product," with its irregularities, comes at a price: a very reasonable one. And those sensitive to itchiness or with allergies will appreciate knitted items with an interesting look and soft feel.
Due to its high sericin content (whose odor dissipates relatively quickly), bourette silk is said to possess natural healing properties – it also has anti-inflammatory effects and soothes the skin. The yarn is therefore ideally suited for baby and children's clothing.
Our Soft Silk is spun and dyed by a small spinning mill in India.
