Knitting for Olive Silk

Pure Silk is a beautifully light and breathable yarn crafted from 100% bourette silk, ethically and responsibly sourced. Bourette silk is made from the short leftover fibers produced during the silk processing, giving it a rustic, uneven texture that stands apart from traditional smooth silks. With a subtle matte finish, this yarn offers a delicate, natural look that’s perfect for summer garments or adding a luxurious touch to any project.

Ideal for creating summer tops, dresses, or lightweight sweaters, Pure Silk also pairs beautifully with our Soft Silk Mohair for a stunning, plush result.
