Jo Sharp Mulberry Silk Georgette is an exquisitely soft and lustrous yarn made with 25% Mulberry Silk and 75% Extrafine Merino Wool. Ideal for heirloom items it is soft enough for babies and those with the most sensitive skin to wear close to the skin. Perfect for sweaters and accessories, this finely plied yarn is quite stretchy, so it keeps its shape and offers excellent stitch definition. It is a truly luxurious treat.
Mulberry Silk is the finest, and most lustrous silk available in the market. A premium is paid for Mulberry Silk, which was first developed in China and is made from the silkworms of the Bombyx Mori Moth. The moths are kept in a controlled environment, free from noise and strong odor, and are fed exclusively on Mulberry leaves. The lustre and uniformity of Mulberry Silk are superior to other 'wild silks' which are grown from a variety of feeds, and tend to be rougher in texture, heavier, and less lustrous. Extrafine Merino provides warmth, elasticity, and a crisp, even finish to anything you make.
