Knitting for Olive Pure Silk is a wonderfully soft and luxurious yarn made from genuine bourette silk (raw silk). Silk has extensive heat-regulating properties, which is why clothes knitted from silk can be worn in a variety of temperatures. Silk is particularly suitable for summer use, as silk can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture and still feel dry against the skin. However, silk also has insulating properties like wool, which is why silk is able to retain heat even in cold weather without making the wearer sweat. Knitting for Olive's Pure Silk yarn can be used to knit clothes and accessories for year-round use!
Knitting for Olive Pure Silk yarn is made from silk fibers that are collected and produced into yarn only after the snails have been allowed to develop into adult silk moths and have flown away. This allows the larvae to complete their life cycle and makes the yarn ethically produced (Cruelty Free). The little butterfly on the thread belt is a sign of this – it indicates that the silk is sustainably produced. Pure Silk yarn is also STANDARD 100 OEKO-TEX® certified.
Please note that discounted yarns may contain skeins from different dye batches.
