PRODUCT DETAILS
Silk Tweed is perfect for all your summer knitting. Not only does it have a soft feel, but its tweed texture adds dimension and depth to any project.
Silk Tweed is made of 100% Silk Noil. You may be asking yourself what exactly Silk Noil is.
Silk noil, also known as ‘raw silk’, is made from the waste fibres inside the cocoon. Once spun, these small bits of broken fibre create a really interesting, nubby, matte texture that gives the tweedy aspect and feels like soft cotton. Silk also has lots of amazing properties: it is very breathable, yet warm, it keeps moisture away from the body and is perfectly comfortable to wear next to the skin.
