Servizi e Seta · Purana 2/65 · 3250m/100g (3554yds/3.5oz) · 100% Silk (Se)

Purana 2/65 by Servizi e Seta is pure silk at its most essential — a gossamer-weight thread of extraordinary fineness and natural clarity. Smooth, evenly spun, and subtly luminous, it carries the full sensory character of premium silk: a soft, living sheen that shifts with every change of light, a fluid drape that falls with effortless grace, and a lightness in hand that belies its warmth and strength.

Servizi e Seta is a specialist Italian silk mill with deep expertise in fine silk yarns, and Purana 2/65 reflects that focus completely. The thread is clean, consistent, and beautifully behaved across strand counts — rewarding the knitter with fabric that feels as refined as it looks.

Versatile Use

At 3250m/100g, Purana 2/65 works from fingering through worsted weight for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. As strand counts build, the yarn transitions through fingering, DK, and worsted — silk's signature drape and sheen present at every stage. Ideal for lightweight tops, refined sweaters, cardigans, and any piece where the natural brilliance of pure silk is central to the design.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool water

Use a mild detergent suitable for silk

Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface

Do not wring, twist, or agitate

Silk becomes weaker when wet — handle with extra care

Steam lightly at low temperature if necessary

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. Pure silk may relax and drape further after washing, altering gauge and hand feel. Accurate swatching is particularly important at this fineness — small gauge differences multiply significantly across a garment.
