Silk is a natural fibre, known for its soft texture and flattering drape. Famous as one of the strongest natural fibres and has a high-end luxurious appeal. For crafting and knitting it is often blended with other fibres, from wool, cotton, alpaca and mohair to name a few.
Silk is composed of fibroin which is the cocoon of insect larvae, most commonly the mulberry silkworm.
Silk has a multitude of uses across all seasons and takes dye exceptionally well often giving a lustrous sheen.
