Knitting for Olive - Pure Silk - Bark

Details

Discover the refined softness of Knitting for Olive Pure Silk

Knitting for Olive Pure Silk is a special yarn that beautifully combines elegance, comfort, and natural beauty. It is made from 100% bourette silk (raw silk) and, according to Knitting for Olive, is produced from silk fibres collected after the chrysalises have matured into moths and escaped the cocoon. This gives the yarn its characteristic softer, more natural appearance. With 250 metres per 50 grams, a recommended needle size of 3 mm, and a gauge of 28 stitches and 38 rows over 10 cm, it is a refined choice for lightweight garments and accessories. The yarn is also OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified.

Why choose Knitting for Olive Pure Silk?

• 100% pure silk – Pure Silk is made from pure bourette silk, giving it a soft, exclusive, and natural character.
  
  
• Light and breathable – Thanks to its fine weight and the properties of silk, it is a beautiful choice for airy garments and accessories that feel comfortable, even when worn next to the skin. This is a careful usage inference based on fibre type, yardage, and yarn weight.
  
  
• Beautiful drape and subtle texture – Bourette silk has a more natural, slightly matte appearance than smoother silk yarns, creating knitted fabrics with gentle drape and a calm, elegant surface. The wording about the matte, natural appearance is an inference based on bourette silk as a material and the brand’s official positioning.
  
  
• Refined and versatile – Its fine weight and soft character make Pure Silk well suited to tops, lightweight sweaters, scarves, and other timeless projects. The project examples are careful usage inferences grounded in weight, gauge, and fibre behaviour.
