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.
*Given the nature of the material, this garment is prone to fluffing, colour loss and pilling from friction. After wearing, gently smooth the pile with a soft brush. If pills do form, do not pull at them; trim them with small scissors.
*Given the nature of the material, perspiration and light may cause discolouration. Do not leave stains untreated; remove them promptly. After washing, reshape the garment and dry it flat in the shade. When ironing, use a pressing cloth and avoid high temperatures. When storing, please use a moth repellent and a dehumidifying agent.
