Spun Silk Fabric – Natural Elegance with a Soft Touch
Spun Silk is a unique fabric crafted from shorter silk fibers, often derived from damaged or leftover silk cocoons. These fibers are twisted together to create a yarn that offers a soft, cotton-like feel with a subtle texture. Unlike traditional reeled silk, Spun Silk has a more matte finish and a slightly fuzzy surface, giving it a distinctive charm and versatility.
