The inspiration for these gorgeous skeins was a bowl of delicious mixed berries, that I thought would look lovely reflected in a yarn.

NB: DISCLAIMER
No matter what your skill level please, Please, PLEASE make a test square. Using pure Silk Yarn is different to using Wool Yarn. Unlike wool, silk has no elasticity so you need to adjust to knit/crochet a lot looser than you may be used to.
Uses:
Also known as Silk Noil, Bourette Silk is obtained from the outer and inner surfaces of the cocoon which is not suitable for reeling into fine fibre. It has a rustic, cotton like texture with little or no sheen to the fibres. Bourette Silk produces a strong yarn with noils, giving it a tweedy appearance. Bourette Silk Yarn is an extremely durable yarn and is ideal for Knitting, Crochet, Weaving, Tapestry Weaving, Embellishment, Creative Textile Work. This yarn may not have the high lustre of other silks but is still beautiful when natural or dyed.
These skeins of Bourette Silk Yarn have been commercially spun and hand dyed in small batches, by me, in my studio. No two skeins are exactly alike even if from the same dye batch. Please take this into consideration when planning a project.
Designed by Bernadette Witchalls in Cambridgeshire
