Raw Silk
Share
Raw silk, often celebrated as "wild silk" or "peace silk," emerges from the cocoons of silkworms without the traditional boiling process that softens the sericin—a natural protein binding the silk fibers. This unique method imparts a distinct character to the fabric.
Characteristics
- Textured Elegance The presence of sericin gives raw silk its signature "slubbed" or "nubby" texture, infusing the fabric with a rustic and tactile charm.
- Subdued Sheen Unlike the glossy finish of mulberry silk, raw silk boasts a matte, understated sheen, contributing to its earthy and relaxed aesthetic.
- Versatile Comfort Though slightly stiffer than its more polished counterparts, raw silk remains comfortably wearable. Its natural adaptability to body temperature ensures warmth in winter and coolness in summer, making it a versatile choice for any season.
