Lightweight, ethically sourced silk for elegant summer knits
- Materials & Care
Knitting for Olive Pure Silk is a fingering-weight yarn spun from 100% bourette silk, crafted from leftover silk fibers from the cocoon. The result is a soft, matte, and slightly textured yarn that knits into sophisticated yet casual garments, perfect for warm-weather tops, tanks, cardigans, wraps, and scarves.
This silk works beautifully on its own for light summer pieces or paired with Soft Silk Mohair to create luxurious sweaters for cooler weather. Its natural, relaxed finish gives garments a subtle texture and drape that feels effortlessly elegant.
Responsibly sourced from open silk cocoons in an ethical production process, Pure Silk is finished in a calming, modern palette of wearable, nature-inspired colors. Designed in Denmark by a family-owned business, this yarn blends sustainability, quality, and timeless style for knitters seeking both beauty and conscience in their projects.
