Silk is the fine thread that the silkworm uses to transform itself into a cocoon. It pupates in the silk cocoon and hatches 20 days later as a moth. This yarn, produced by the caterpillar's unique spinning glands, is the finest and most stable natural yarn in the world. Silk is a protein fiber, that is, very similar in structure to human skin. Therefore, silk is the optimal "second skin".
Silk is the fiber of well-being, pleasure and pampering, it ensures an unforgettable sensation and the ideal climate for the skin.
Silk is known for its luster, charm and value. But its properties go far beyond that. Silk is a protein fiber very similar to the structure of human skin, which is why it is truly like a second skin that nourishes, protects and soothes it. For the same reason it is the fiber with the best skin tolerability, perfect for sensitive and problematic skin.
Silk is a very fine but very stable and resistant thread. Thanks to its smooth and thin fiber, silk falls slippery and soft. Silk also has excellent insulating properties, when it is hot it gives freshness and when it is cool it warms the skin. So it is a garment that you can wear all year round and that gives maximum range in contact with the skin.
Silk can absorb about 30% of its own weight of moisture leaving the skin dry. It can absorb large amounts of sweat while letting the skin breathe.
Although it looks like a very delicate and fragile fiber, silk is actually strong and resistant and can be safely washed in the washing machine on a delicate cycle. Furthermore, its smooth surface makes it repellent to dirt and does not allow it to absorb odors.
SILK BURETTE
Burette silk is a particular yarn that is not obtained by killing the worm but which is obtained from the cocoon once the worm has come out, therefore from damaged cocoons or from production leftovers. This is why it has a coarser and rougher appearance than traditional silk but equally beneficial on the skin, even more so. In this case, the yarn contains even more sericin (or silk glue), a substance produced by the worm to protect itself, which is a powerful healing agent and which gives the silk burette powerful soothing, moisturizing and calming properties on the skin.
