Silk Noil Sweater
This sweater uses silk noil, spun from the short fibres (silk noil) that cannot be used in reeling silk, such as those from waste cocoons, and is knitted throughout in plain stitch apart from the ribbing. Silk is excellent at absorbing and releasing moisture and at retaining warmth; it is a protein fibre bound from amino acids close in composition to human skin, so it is comfortable to wear.
The design keeps a basic sweater specification, with the dimensions adjusted for good balance. To counter silk's tendency to lose shape, elastic yarn is worked throughout to give it kickback.
*There are knots and unevenness in the threads that are unique to natural materials. This is because we place importance on texture and use raw materials with uneven fibre lengths, so please consider this as part of the look. Please be careful not to pull on the knots in the threads too hard, as this may cause the threads to break and create holes in the fabric.
*Due to the washing process after sewing, the colour and size may vary slightly from item to item. (Natural White)
*This item is dyed after production. To prevent colour fading, use dry-cleaning detergent and dry in the shade. Due to post-production processing, the colour and size may vary slightly from item to item. (Light Brown, Gray, Black)
