Because much of spun silk is pulled out breeder cocoons, this yarn can be considered about 50% Peace silk. The other part of spun silk fibre is the outer “floss” of the cocoons, which is very strong and lusterous. Thus this yarn-thread has a great durability and high luster.
100% natural silk, spun in Europe.
