Its pristine white color is achieved through a gentle scouring process that preserves the silk’s natural proteins. It is the backbone of high-end hosiery and fine lingerie, providing a touch that is almost imperceptible against the skin. For designers working with computerized knitting machines, this cone is the ultimate marriage of delicacy and delivery. It represents the efficiency needed to bring silk luxury to a global scale.

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.

Fine Twisted Pure Dupion Silk Yarn (White)
This yarn takes the traditional “slubby” Dupion and refines it, offering a “Fine” version for more delicate work. It has the characteristic texture of Dupion—where two cocoons have nested together—but in a much thinner profile. The white color is bright and clean, making it suitable for modern, minimalist designs. The “Twisted” nature of the thread ensures it is durable enough for both warp and weft applications. It is often used to create “Shantung” silk, a fabric known for its ribbed texture and elegant drape. This yarn is perfect for those who want the Dupion look without the heavy weight.

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.
