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.

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.

4 Count Silk Noil Yarn (White)
A step up in refinement from the 0 count, this 4-count yarn offers a balance between “chunky” and “manageable.” It retains the signature “noil” bumps—small specs of cocoon—that give it an organic, lived-in appearance. The white fibers are spun with a medium twist to ensure the yarn doesn’t shed while being worked on the loom. It is the ideal candidate for eco-friendly summer suiting, providing a breathable yet structured fabric. Designers love this yarn because it takes on a beautiful “patina” the more the finished garment is worn. It is a sophisticated take on the “raw” silk movement.

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.
