The “140nm” count signifies an incredibly fine metric number, identifying this as one of the thinnest spun silks available. Every kilogram contains kilometers of thread, making it a cost-effective yet premium choice for delicate projects. The yarn is combed extensively to remove any short fibers, resulting in a thread that is remarkably smooth for a spun product. Its white color is bright and clean, reflecting a high level of processing and care. It is frequently used for high-end lace making or as a luxury sewing thread for silk garments. This yarn is for the perfectionist who values precision and a feather-light touch.

Twisted 1 Ply Indian Dupion Silk Yarn (Yellow)
Proudly sourced and spun in India, this 1-ply yarn carries the vibrant energy of the local silk markets. The “Yellow” color is a hallmark of Indian Mulberry silk, radiating a warmth that complements South Asian skin tones perfectly. Being a “1 Ply,” it is lighter and more flexible than its multi-ply counterparts. It is extensively used in the “Bana” (weft) of Banarasi and Kanchipuram sarees to add that signature texture. The “Twisted” finish ensures that the single ply is strong enough to survive the friction of the shuttle. It is a true “made in India” classic.

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.
