Imported for its specific “slubby” characteristics, this Chinese Dupion yarn is a favorite for evening wear. The “2 Ply” twist combines two threads that have natural irregularities, creating a surface that is pleasantly uneven. Its “Cream White” shade offers a vintage, romantic aesthetic that is softer on the eyes than pure white. The twist is tight enough to give the yarn a “crunchy” handle, which translates into the famous “rustle” of silk taffeta. It is the go-to choice for bridal gowns and structured cocktail dresses that need to hold their shape. This yarn brings a touch of Far East textile heritage to the modern atelier.

Twisted Pure Silk Yarn
This unique offering features a blend of white and yellow silk filaments, celebrating the diversity of the silk harvest. The “White” provides a clean brightness, while the “Yellow” adds a warm, sun-kissed undertone to the finished weave. It is a “raw” yarn, meaning the natural gum (sericin) is still present, giving it a stiff, paper-like quality. When the finished fabric is washed, the gum dissolves, leaving behind an incredibly soft and voluminous material. This dual-tone yarn is often used to create “chameleon” fabrics that appear to change color in different lighting. It is a tribute to the raw, unadulterated power of the silkworm’s labor.

Bleached Mulberry Silk Yarn Warp / Tana (White)
This is a high-performance “Tana” yarn that has undergone a professional bleaching process to achieve a blinding, “optic” white. It is stripped of all natural pigments to ensure it provides a perfectly neutral base for the most delicate pastel dyes. The strength of the Mulberry filament is preserved, allowing it to withstand the rhythmic tension of the loom’s harness. When woven, it produces a fabric with a mirror-like sheen that is synonymous with royal wedding attire. It is the essential starting point for any weaver aiming for a “pure” look. This yarn doesn’t just hold a fabric together; it makes it glow from within.

0 Count Silk Noil Yarn (White)
This is the most “raw” form of silk yarn in the collection, where the “0 Count” indicates a thick, chunky profile. It is a bold, heavyweight thread that celebrates the irregularities of the silk cocoon in their most honest form. The white color is creamy and natural, avoiding the clinical look of bleached synthetics. When woven, it creates a textile with a hand-feel similar to fine wool but with the hypoallergenic benefits of silk. It is the perfect choice for thick, winter-weight scarves or decorative wall tapestries. This yarn is a favorite for those who want to feel the literal substance of the silk in every inch.

Noils Silk Yarn 3 S (White)
The “3 S” designation marks this as a premium version of Noil yarn, where the texture is intentional and artfully irregular. Despite being made from “silk waste,” this yarn is treated as a luxury specialty item for its incredible tactile quality. It has a heavy, pebbled surface that creates a fabric with significant “grip” and a visual depth that smooth silks lack. In its pure white state, it looks like raw cotton but possesses the unmistakable drape and temperature regulation of high-grade silk. It is highly prized by artisanal weavers creating “Boho-chic” home furnishings or rugged, high-fashion jackets. This yarn proves that there is immense beauty and value in what others might leave behind.
