Knitting for Olive Pure Silk

Knitting for Olive- Pure Silk is a soft, exclusive yarn of pure bourette silk (raw silk) produced from silk fibers collected from cocoons after the chrysalises are allowed to mature into moths and escape. Unlike other types of silk yarns, it has a pleasing matte, relaxed finish for sophisticated, yet casual knits. The curated modern palette of wearable colorways give you endless wardrobe possibilities.

Silk is an extraordinarily versatile fiber to work with. It has extensive heat-regulating qualities and can therefore be used in garments all year round. Silk can also absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture while still feeling dry against your skin, so it is especially suitable for summer wear. At the same time, silk, like wool, has insulating properties, retaining heat in cold weather. 

Imported from beautiful 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. Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified.
