Jo Sharp Mulberry Silk Georgette is an beautifully soft yarn made with 25% Mulberry silk and 75% extra fine Merino wool. It is so soft you will love wearing it next to your skin.
Jo Sharp Mulberry Silk is the finest, smoothest and most lustrous silk available in the market. A premium is paid for Mulberry Silk, which was first developed in China and is made from the silkworms of the Bombyx Mori Moth. The moths are kept in a controlled environment, free from noise and strong odour and are fed exclusively on Mulberry leaves. Mulberry Silk is superior to other "wild silks" which are grown from a variety of feeds, and which tend to be rougher in texture, heavier and less lustrous.
