$ 316.00
Regular price $ 284.00Kibiso Natural Silk yarn is another unusual and beautiful Japanese yarn. It has a beautiful crisp feel with a full body and great structure - which softens a little with use or washing.
Kibiso Silk will add wonderful texture to a garment, textile art, jewellery or bag. Surprisingly when knitted or crocheted it makes into a wonderfully light garment with a translucent quality. Kibiso Silk is also gorgeous in your weaving (warp or weft).
The Details
Kibiso silk yarn is also available in natural in a finer and a chunky version.
Kibiso is the protective outer surface of the silk cocoon and is normally discarded as part of the milling and spinning process. This artisan yarn is crafted from the waste product with the remaining sericin giving the yarn it's body. You can remove the sericin (degum) with washing and the yarn will transform into something which is wonderfully soft - a complete contrast!
Video shows a sample piece knitted in Charcoal on 8mm needles.
