This is not yet a yarn in the traditional sense, but a “Slyver“—a long, continuous rope of combed silk fibers. It is the purest form of white Mulberry silk, ready to be hand-spun or blended with other luxury materials. The fibers are soft, fluffy, and incredibly clean, representing the high standard of the combing process. Hand-spinners cherish this material for the control it gives them over the thickness and texture of their final thread. It is a bridge between the raw cocoon and the finished textile, full of potential and creative possibility. This slyver is the starting point for those who want to build their fabric from the very fiber up.

2 Ply Chinese Twisted Dupion Silk Yarn (Cream White)
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.
