This versatile yarn is perfect for weaving, knitting and crocheting. Once finished, washed and blocked, it becomes incredibly soft and comfortable to wear.

Important Information:

• This is not a hand-dyed yarn.

• Please note that stronger colours may bleed during washing. I cannot take responsibility for any colour bleeding.

• To protect your project, I highly recommend using a colour catcher sheet every time you wash it.

The Magic of Bourette Silk

Did you know that Bourette silk is actually a sustainable, "recycled" silk? It is crafted from the shorter fibers left over after spinning filament silk, making it an eco-conscious choice for your stash.

Unlike the classic, shiny silk you might expect, Bourette has a sophisticated matte finish and a rustic, cotton-like appearance. Its charm lies in the tiny neps (small knots) scattered throughout the thread, which give your knitted or crocheted fabric a beautiful, organic texture.

One of its best qualities? Once finished and blocked, the fabric is incredibly stable and does not stretch out of shape, ensuring your handmade garments keep their perfect fit for years to come.
