Knitting for Olive Pure Silk

Knitting for Olive's Pure Silk is made of 100% bourette silk. Bourette silk is made of silk waste created during silk processing. The short, leftover silk fibers are spun into a new yarn. It has a rustic and uneven look and is less shiny than other types of silk. This is the perfect yarn for summer tops and summer dresses, but it will also makes a luxurious sweater combined with mohair for cold weather knit.s

All of the silk in this yarn is made from open cocoons where the silkworms have transformed into moths & fluttered away.

The soothing, modern palette of colorways are incredibly wearable.

Traveling from Denmark, Knitting for Olive yarns are ethically created with high quality, natural fibers.  Founded by a mother & daughter, the family business is passionate about responsible yarns that inspire & bring joy to knitters around the world.
