Spun Silk

Click to Enlarge

This plainweave silk fabric is durable, soft, and light-weight with a nice luster. Woven from smooth spun (not reeled) silk. Spun yarns are mostly from the thickest fibre on the outer part of the cocoon, and from breeder cocoons, so this fabric contains some peace silk.
