Item highlights
Seller's description
Content: 100% Silk (Eri)
Yarn Group: Fingering / Sock
Weight/yardage: 1.8 oz (50 g) = approx 328 yards (300 m)
Recommended knitting needle size: 2.00 mm - 3.00 mm
Knitting tension: 24 stitches x 33 rows in 10 cm x 10 cm / 4'' x 4''
Washing instructions: hand wash only. Attention: yarn may bleed.
On an Eri silk worm farm in the Northeast of Thailand, the raw material for this wonderful silk yarn is harvested in a totally cruelty-free way: The cocoons of the Eri silkworm, which is a different breed than the mulberry silk worm. It lives for example on Maniok plants and spins a different kind of cocoon. The worm eats his way out of the cocoon and flies away before the cocoon is harvested by hand and then cooked to gain the precious thread. In the case of mulberry silk, the cocoons are cooked with the silk worms inside in order to obtain an endless thread. As far as our research shows, we are the only brand that offers this precious and eco-friendly yarn for the hand-knitting industry.
Eri silk has a subtle shimmer but is not as shiny as mulberry silk, because the thread is not endless, but just as heavy and therefore nicely drapy. It has a „dryer" look and feel, more resembling a bourette silk, although JAIPUR PEACE SILK is more evenly spun and is much more stable than for example our bourette silk Soft Silk. Jaipur Peace Silk has the same gauge as our good old friend Jaipur Silk Fino, so all patterns for that yarn can easily be used for this animal-friendly new silk alternative.
Try it for super drapey shawls and scarves!
_____________________________________________________________
NOTE: The typical fiber properties of silk mean it is not elastic and has a tendency to grow after washing. So please take this into consideration when switching. It may lengthen by about 10%.
Also: Silk absorbs a lot of dye stuff. Some bleeding of darker colors is unavoidable. Please rinse in vinegar water until clear before mixing with light colors or wearing on a white blouse.
There may be excess dye in some of the colors. We recommend to rinse the yarn in cold water before use; finish with a rinse of water added a little vinegar. Always wash in cold water. To preserve the shiny surface of the mulberry silk, Jaipur Silk Fino must be washed by hand, use a neutral shampoo and finish with a rinse of water added a little vinegar.
4 skeins for a size M top.
6 skeins for a size M sweater.

The Danish-born yarn company BC Garn is the brand with most GOTS certified yarns in the whole industry. As of today already 12 yarns are fully certified and more to come. In addition to that for the first time a cruelty-free mulberry silk yarn will be introduced: Jaipur Peace Silk. Before the silk cocons are harvested, they are cut at the top so that the worms can escape before the cocons are processed any further. It is our aim to develop BC Garn as THE brand offering the largest selection of mindfully produced yarns in the industry.
BC Garn has been in the market since 1996 when it was founded by Bo Carstensen, who was the son of a weaver and a rug wool trader. Later his wife Marianna joined the company which was situated in Kolding on the Baltic Sea. Their focus has always been the development of natural fibre yarns in a wide shade palette. For some years now, some of their yarns are even GOTS certified.
In spring 2018 Marianna and Bo handed “their baby” over to Britta und Carsten Kremke, who will continue the yarn, color and design style in the tradition of the Danish founders. Almost all of the yarns are produced in Europe, except Soft Silk comes from the typical silk country India and the Babyalpaca is produced in the country of alpacas, Peru.
