Silken Cloud - Silk-Blend Yarn (70% Bombyx Silk & 30% Cotton), 60/2X2, lace/thread weight
Cotton is a cellulose fibre derived from the seed of the plant, similar to milk weed fluff. Cotton is the most consumed of all the natural fibres due to its versatility, high performance and appearance.
Cotton is soft, flexible, comfortable, strong, absorbent, washes easily and has a fair amount of elasticity. Silk blended with cotton adds more length, elasticity and shine to the cotton and is more affordable than 100% silk.
Yarn of the combined fibers is a pleasure to weave, with the hand of cloth being soft, smooth and cool, perfect for summer garments and scarves.
