Mulberry (Bombyx) Silk Yarn, 20/2, Natural

100% Mulberry (Bombyx) Silk Yarn, Lace Weight 20/2

Mulberry (Bombyx) silk is the silk many makers dream about: smooth, refined, luminous, and wonderfully soft. Spun from the cocoons of silkworms (Bombyx mori) raised on mulberry leaves, it is prized for its exceptional strength, fine texture, and beautiful natural sheen. In 20/2 lace weight, mulberry silk offers a lovely balance of delicacy and durability, making it an outstanding choice for both weaving and dyeing.

For weavers, 20/2 mulberry silk is a versatile yarn that can be used for both warp and weft. It has the strength needed for fine weaving, while its smooth surface and fluid hand create fabric with gorgeous drape, crisp definition, and an unmistakable glow. It is especially well suited to scarves, shawls, wraps, fine yardage, lightweight fabric, and elegant lace structures, where its sheen highlights pattern and gives finished cloth a polished, luxurious look.

For dyers, mulberry silk is a delight. As a protein fiber, it readily accepts acid dyes and many natural dyes, often producing clear, saturated color with remarkable depth and radiance. Its smooth surface reflects light beautifully, which gives dyed yarn an especially vivid, luminous quality. Whether you love rich jewel tones, subtle neutrals, or softly layered natural dye effects, mulberry silk rewards careful dye work with stunning results.

Finished fabric woven from mulberry silk feels cool, smooth, and elegant against the skin, with a softness that only improves with handling and wear. If you are looking for a yarn that combines strength, brilliance, and sophistication, 20/2 mulberry silk is a classic for very good reason.
