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.

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.
