DESCRIPTION

Sometimes, smooth and glossy isn’t what your creative heart is calling for. You might be searching for texture, depth, and a yarn that adds soul to your project. It can be frustrating when most silk options feel too polished, leaving you craving a fibre with personality and warmth.

Choosing a fibre like this gives you more than material; it gives you the freedom to create fabrics with character. It’s a decision that honours tradition while letting your creativity bloom in unexpected ways.

With Eri Silk, every irregularity becomes part of the story your hands are telling. The result is fabric with understated beauty, subtle texture, and a sense of authenticity that only natural fibres can offer. It’s the kind of choice that leaves you feeling proud, inspired, and eager to start your next piece.

What does “Nm 8/2” signify for Eri silk thickness and uses?

Nm 8/2 indicates a 2-ply yarn with ~400 m per 100 g. This is a medium lace-to-fingering weight ideal for weaving scarves, shawls, or textured knitting. It offers good structure without being bulky.

How does Eri silk compare in shine and texture to Mulberry or Tussah silk?

Eri silk is matte, wool-like, and textured versus Mulberry silk’s high sheen and Tussah’s golden gloss. Perfect for rustic projects with subtle elegance and warmth.

Is Eri silk truly cruelty‑free or “peace silk”?

Yes. Eri silk is harvested after the moth exits the cocoon naturally, making it non-violent and eco-friendly.

What are the thermal and moisture‑management properties of Eri silk fabrics?

Eri silk provides warmth while remaining breathable and moisture-absorbent. It’s suitable for both summer and winter garments.

Can Swiss Mountain Eri silk Nm 8/2 be used for weaving warp threads?

Yes, but use gentle tension or combine with stronger fibres since staple-spun silk lacks filament strength.

How durable is Eri silk compared to Mulberry silk in garments?

Eri is less glossy but very strong, elastic, and resistant to wear, making it long-lasting for apparel.

How should Eri silk Nm 8/2 be cared for or washed?

Hand wash in cold water with mild soap. Avoid wringing. Lay flat to dry. Cool iron on reverse.

Does Eri silk yarn pill or fluff over time?

Some fuzz may appear initially due to short fibres. With gentle handling, fluffing reduces over time.

Can this Eri silk be dyed with natural or acid-reactive dyes?

Yes. It accepts acid and natural dyes beautifully. Pre-soak to ensure even color absorption.

Are blends with cotton or wool beneficial using Eri silk Nm 8/2?

Yes. Blending enhances drape, softness, and warmth. Eri/wool or Eri/cotton blends are popular in woven textiles.
