Mulberry silk is a premium natural fiber known for its pure white color, exceptional smoothness, and refined luster. It is produced by silkworms fed exclusively on mulberry leaves, resulting in a highly consistent fiber with very long staple length.
Considered silk at its finest, mulberry silk combines beauty and performance. It is strong, resistant to pilling, and its long fibers make it easy to spin into smooth, elegant yarns. It dyes beautifully and blends exceptionally well with other fibers such as wool or plant fibers, adding shine, drape, and strength to blended yarns and textile projects.
