Read more about our Mulberry Silk Yarn

A sustainable luxury; Mulberry silk is without question the most luxurious silk available for purchase. Mulberry trees are native to China, Korea, Japan and northern India, the name “Mulberry” Silk comes from their role in its unique production process. Local farmers plant Mulberry trees and harvest the leaves for Bombyx mori silkworms to feed on. The slightly creamy off-white cocoons that these silkworms spin is transformed into a strong, yet silky textile known as Mulberry silk. One single cocoon can contain over a mile of silk!

Legend has it that the discovery of silk can be credited to an ancient Chinese empress, Si-Ling-Chi in the year 2640 B.C.E. While drinking a cup of hot tea under a tree, a silk cocoon fell from the Mulberry tree above landing in her warm tea. As she plucked it from her cup, the cocoon unraveled forming a long and beautiful string; what we know of today - as silk.

While silk became an enormous source of wealth and trade, the Royal Family never revealed the source or technique, the Mulberry Silk production process remained a highly guarded secret in China for the next 2500 years.

Our beautiful Mulberry Silk is grown, processed and spun by women in India. These Indian co-ops offer underprivileged women a chance to earn an income for themselves and their families and we’re proud to offer their remarkable products to you.
