Friends Cotton Silk | Fancy Yarns Australia

Looking for bourette silk yarn in Australia that’s soft, breathable and beautifully blended?

Friends Cotton Silk is an 8ply (DK weight) yarn made from 77% cotton and 23% bourette silk, a subtle, tone-on-tone twist that adds understated texture and gentle sheen to every stitch. Spun in Türkiye and designed for comfort, this yarn is lightweight, versatile and soft enough for garments worn next to the skin.

With approximately 120 metres per 50g skein, it’s ideal for warmer-weather garments, delicate accessories and everyday pieces you’ll reach for again and again.

Whether you’ve been searching for where to buy bourette silk yarn in Australia or you’re curious about trying a new blend of cotton yarn that elevates your craft, Friends Cotton Silk offers a fresh, luxe take on natural fibres.

A Yarn with a Story

Friends Cotton Silk is all about refined comfort. It combines the cool, breathable qualities of cotton with the matte elegance of bourette silk, a textured silk made from the shorter fibres left after the spinning of traditional silk. The result? A yarn with a soft feel and gentle character, perfect for modern makers who want lightness, drape and just a hint of luxury.

The tone-on-tone structure of the cotton and silk twist gives a delicate marled effect, adding dimension to your stitches without overwhelming your pattern.

Machine washable and gentle on the skin, this yarn is equally suited to timeless heirloom projects and fuss-free everyday knits.

We’re proud to stock this popular Hobbii yarn in Australia for a limited time only, perfect for those seeking where to buy Hobbii yarn in Australia with local support and expert guidance.

Spun with Purpose

At Fancy Yarns Australia, we love fibres that work hard and wear beautifully. Friends Cotton Silk blends plant-based strength with understated luxury, making it a perfect choice for conscious crafters.

Bourette silk, sometimes called raw silk, offers a sustainable alternative to traditional silk, using what would otherwise be discarded during processing. When combined with soft cotton and dyed in a calm, elegant palette, the result is yarn that’s natural, nurturing and quietly beautiful.
