About 100% Indian Mulberry Duke Silk: “Duke Silk Yarn is made from the byproduct of the reeled silk leftovers. It’s combed first in the comber and then machine-spun. It is ideally used for hand knitting and crocheting projects such as sweaters, shawls, hats, throws, socks, gloves, cardigans, scarves and many more wearable items.”
