🧶 About Bourette Silk Yarn
Bourette silk yarn is a natural fiber made from silk waste, giving it a unique texture and matte finish.
It is soft, breathable, and perfect for lightweight garments and eco-friendly knitting projects.
Our 100% bourette silk — a unique fiber created from the shorter strands left over of silk during the silk production process. These fibers are carefully spun into a new yarn, giving it a naturally textured, slightly rustic character with a soft, matte finish.
Less glossy than traditional silk, bourette silk has a subtle, organic look that makes it especially appealing for modern handmade pieces.
This yarn is perfect for lightweight summer garments such as tops and dresses, and can also be beautifully combined with Soft Silk Mohair to create a more textured and luxurious sweater.
