100% silk yarn hand-dyed by Christiana Vardakou, 50 gr/ 150 m

Silk shine is made of brilliant tussah silk and is suitable for knitting, crochet, and creating accessories.
Tussah silk is produced by tussah silkworms and is usually a beautiful natural golden colour but can vary from pale cream to a dark rich brown. Tussah silkmoth caterpillars eat oak leaves or other leaves rich in tannin and it is the tannin that gives the colour to this silk.
It is less fine than Mulberry silk but more durable and resistant.

“Due to the nature of our processes, all products are unique. Each one slightly different from the other, yet all equally beautiful and made with love. The collection aims to encourage sustainability and conscious consumption — going against fast fashion and the throw-away culture.
Timeless products that are sustainable, ethical and unique — made for those mindful of the value of time and the environment” Christiana Vardakou.
