Silk is an all season fibre suited to people with especially sensitive skin. Silk's softness, breathability, and hypoallergenic properties make it comfortable and gentle on the skin. It also wicks away moisture, helping to regulate temperature and keep you dry.
Tussah silk, also known as wild silk, is a type of silk produced by silkworms (Antheraea species) that are not domesticated and instead feed on leaves like oak and juniper. Unlike the more common cultivated mulberry silk, tussah silk is often harvested after the silkworm has emerged from its cocoon. Tussah silk is known for its natural honey-gold color.
Sizes: XS (8), S (10), M (12), L (14)
Fit:Tussah silk has little stretch compared with merino wool therefore the fit will feel more firm in these. We recommend checking measurements and potentially sizing up when considering that the garment won't stretch heaps.
