Storai · Bourette Silk 4000 · 400m/100g (437yds/3.5oz) · 100% Silk (Se)

Bourette Silk 4000 by Storai is a distinctive 100% silk yarn in fingering weight featuring the unique textured character of bourette silk. This exceptional fiber delivers silk's legendary luster and drape with an organic, slubby texture that creates visual interest and tactile appeal. Unlike smooth silk, bourette features natural nubs and irregularities that add dimension and character to every stitch. The yarn creates fabrics with beautiful drape, breathability, luminous sheen, and contemporary aesthetic. Perfect for warm-weather garments where silk's cooling properties meet textured elegance and artisanal charm.

Versatile Use

Ideal for summer garments, elegant accessories, shawls, and projects where silk's refined qualities meet textured character and natural beauty. The inherent texture creates fabrics with sophisticated appeal.
