This yarn carries the soul of the person who made it, with every meter bearing the slight, beautiful variations of a hand-spin. In its white form, it has a soft, glowing quality that machine-made yarns simply cannot replicate. The hand-spinning process preserves more of the silk’s natural “bounce” and elasticity, making it incredibly comfortable to wear. It is a favorite for “slow fashion” advocates who value the time and human energy that goes into every thread. When woven, it creates a fabric with a unique, organic “slub” that tells a story of tradition and patience. This yarn is a celebration of the human touch in a world of automation.

Raw Silk Yarn (White & Yellow)
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.

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.

140nm Spun Silk Yarn Cone (White)
This yarn is the twin of the previous 140nm, but it comes wound tightly onto an industrial cone for the modern weaver. The cone allows for high-speed unwinding, ensuring that the ultra-fine “140nm” thread doesn’t snag or break during intensive production. 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.

40-44 Denier ARM Mulberry Raw Silk Yarn (White)
This yarn is double the thickness of the 20/22 grade, providing a more substantial “body” to the fabric. The “ARM” (Automatic Reeling Machine) processing ensures that even at this higher denier, the yarn remains perfectly smooth. Its white color is deep and saturated, indicating a high-quality Mulberry source. This thickness is ideal for creating “Katan” silk, known for its heavy weight and high durability. It is a favorite for weaving traditional bridal sarees that are passed down through generations. This yarn is built to last, providing a foundation for heirlooms.
