Recycled Silk Yarn – Garment Weight
A curated collection of 100% recycled silk yarn in sport, DK, and worsted weights — selected for garments, shawls, and everyday wearable pieces.
These skeins are sourced from reclaimed and surplus fiber production and grouped into colorways suitable for project planning. Each yarn offers a soft drape, subtle sheen, and the natural variation that makes silk uniquely beautiful.
Unlike ribbon or novelty silk, this collection features a more consistent strand structure, making it ideal for knitting and crochet.
Some colorways are available in small sweater quantities with select colorways offering larger batch availability.
