🌿 Sustainability Story

Choose this yarn for its mulberry silk fibre and make pieces you can care for, repair and use over time. Thoughtful swatching helps reduce wasted yarn, while saving leftover lengths creates opportunities for small decorative details. Silk is animal-derived and is not vegan. No organic, recycled, peace-silk, cruelty-free or product-specific environmental certification is claimed for this series.

🧵 How Mulberry Reeled Silk Compares

• Versus spun silk: Reeled silk starts with continuous silk filaments, while spun silk is made from shorter fibres. This yarn highlights a smooth, lustrous character.
• Versus recycled sari silk yarn: Choose this fine plied yarn for delicate detail rather than the irregular texture often associated with recycled sari silk.
• Versus wool: Silk offers a different drape and less springy recovery; sample garment edges and fitted areas carefully.
• Versus cotton: Silk brings its characteristic sheen and flowing handle. Do not substitute by ball weight alone; compare length and finished gauge.

🫧 Care Instructions

• 🧪 Test a small swatch for colour release and dimensional change before washing the finished piece.
• 👐 Gently hand wash separately in cool water using a mild detergent suitable for silk.
• 🚫 Avoid bleach, rubbing, wringing and prolonged soaking.
• 💧 Press out moisture gently in a clean towel, reshape and dry flat in shade.
• 🌤️ Avoid tumble drying and prolonged direct sunlight.
• 📦 Store clean and dry, away from rough surfaces that may snag fine stitches.
