Makalu Silk Bouclé, made in China Yarn Name Index »> Yarn Weight Index » Yarn Price Index » Seasonal Collections »

Silk Boucle is a pure, millspun Mulberry silk yarn. It is ultra soft, undyed, silk-fragrant, and elegantly lustrous. This silk is suitable for hand knitting of all-year-round garments. Known facts: Silk is one of the greenest fibers in the world because of the specific silk production (there are only a few chemical fertilizers that can be used on mulberry plants). Silk works up into garments that are best worn close to the skin, like camisoles. Also, Silk and human skin have a similar protein composition that makes silk very comfortable to wear even close to the skin.
