Description
100% Eri Silk
On an Eri silk worm farm in the Northeast of Thailand, the raw material for this wonderful silk yarn is harvested in a totally cruelty-free way. Eri silk has a subtle shimmer but is not as shiny as mulberry silk, because the thread is not endless, but just as heavy and therefore nicely drapy.
Silk can bleed, especially darker colours. Rinse in vinegar extract before combining with lighter colours or wear over light clothes.

Note: The typical fiber properties of silk mean it is not elastic and has a tendency to grow after washing. So please take this into consideration when swatching. It may lengthen by about 10%.
