BC Garn Soft Silk
BC Garn Soft Silk
Soft Silk from BC Garn is spun from bourette silk which is produced using the short silk fibres left over after the production of mulberry silk which requires long fibres only.
It has the pleasant climate-regulating properties of silk, but isn't as cool, smooth, or slippery as many mulberry silk yarns. Due to its high sericin content (whose odour dissipates relatively quickly), bourette silk is said to possess natural healing properties – it also has anti-inflammatory effects and soothes the skin. The yarn is therefore ideally suited to baby and children's clothing, and those with sensitive skin.
Soft Silk is spun and dyed by a small spinning mill in India.
