A Yarn with a Story
 
Friends Cotton Silk Print brings together the same premium natural fibres - soft, breathable cotton and textured bourette silk - in a lively marled yarn dyed in multi-tonal shades. The colour play enhances your stitching with delicate transitions and a sense of movement that adds personality to even the simplest patterns.
 
Bourette silk (also known as raw silk) is made from the shorter fibres left after spinning traditional silk, offering a matte finish and soft texture. Combined with cotton, it creates a plant-based yarn that feels light on the skin and easy to wear, even in warmer weather.
 
Machine washable and buttery soft, this yarn is an excellent choice for makers who want beauty and practicality in every ball.
