Silk Discovery Starter Kit | 5-Piece Premium Silk Sampler Bundle | Yarn, Ribbon, Cocoons & More | Perfect for Beginners

✨ Silk is not just a fibre — it is a feeling. And this kit is your first conversation with it.

🌟 Why the Silk Discovery Starter Kit?

Most crafters have heard of silk. Few have truly worked with it. The problem? Silk comes in so many forms — spun yarn, ribbon, cocoons, blends — that knowing where to start feels overwhelming. We designed this kit to solve exactly that.

The Silk Discovery Starter Kit gives you five distinct silk experiences in one curated box, so you can touch, swatch, and fall in love with silk before committing to a full project. It is the most honest introduction to luxury fibre you will find in Europe.

🎁 What's Inside — All 5 Products Explained

① 3 Ply 100% Mulberry Reeled Silk Lace Weight Yarn — Sacred White (50g / 260 Yards)

This is silk in its purest, most refined form. Spun from Grade A Mulberry silk — the gold standard of silk production — this 3-ply lace weight yarn is impossibly fine, luminous, and strong. Sacred White is undyed and unbleached, letting the natural silk sheen speak for itself. Use it for delicate shawls, lace inserts, or as a blending thread. 260 yards of pure luxury in your hands.

• 100% Mulberry Silk | 3 Ply | Lace Weight
• 50g / 260 Yards | Sacred White (natural undyed)
• Perfect for: lace knitting, fine weaving, embroidery accents
• Skill level: Beginner-friendly with a fine needle (US 0–2 / 2–3mm)

② Recycled Sari Silk Yarn — Multicolor Gum Ball (100g / 85 Yards)

Born from the offcuts of Indian sari weaving, this chunky, colourful yarn is silk in its most joyful, earthy form. Each gum ball is a one-of-a-kind explosion of jewel tones — no two are identical. Thick, tactile, and full of character, it is the perfect contrast to the refined lace yarn in this kit. Silk that tells a story of heritage and sustainability.

• Recycled Sari Silk | Bulky Weight | Multicolor
• 100g / 85 Yards | 1 Gum Ball
• Perfect for: weaving, macramé, chunky knitting, boho home décor
• Skill level: Beginner-friendly — great for looms and large needles (US 10–15 / 6–10mm)

③ Recycled Mulberry Sari Silk Ribbon Yarn — Natural Undyed, 10 × 1 Yard Strips (50g)

Silk ribbon is a completely different sensory experience — flat, fluid, and almost weightless. These natural undyed strips carry the raw beauty of mulberry silk without any dye intervention, making them ideal for eco-conscious crafters. Use them for ribbon embroidery, weaving weft, journaling embellishments, or wrapping gifts. Ten strips of pure, unfiltered silk elegance.

• Recycled Mulberry Silk Ribbon | Natural / Undyed
• 50g | 10 × 1 Yard Strips
• Perfect for: ribbon embroidery, weaving, mixed media art, gift wrapping
• Skill level: All levels — no needles required for many uses

④ DK Silk Cotton Yarn — Beige (50g / 180 Yards)

Not everyone is ready for 100% silk — and that is perfectly fine. This silk-cotton blend (2/60NM × 8 Ply) is the ideal bridge fibre: it has the softness and drape of silk with the familiar workability of cotton. The beige tone is warm, versatile, and pairs beautifully with every other item in this kit. The yarn that makes silk approachable.

• Silk Cotton Blend | DK Weight | 8 Ply
• 50g / 180 Yards | Beige
• Perfect for: garments, baby items, summer tops, dishcloths with a luxury feel
• Skill level: Beginner to Intermediate (US 4–6 / 3.5–4mm needles)

⑤ Hand Dyed Silk Cut Cocoons — 30 Pieces

The most tactile, most surprising item in the kit. These are actual silk cocoons — the raw source of all silk — hand dyed in soft, natural tones. Use them in crafting, felting, mixed media, or as a luxurious facial and spa tool (silk cocoons are renowned for their natural sericin protein, which gently exfoliates skin). Silk at its most elemental and beautiful.

• Hand Dyed Silk Cut Cocoons | 30 pcs
• Uses: crafting, felting, journaling, facial exfoliation, spa rituals
• Skill level: No skill required — just curiosity

🧵 Why Silk? The Case for Choosing Natural Luxury

Silk is the strongest natural fibre on earth — stronger than steel by weight. It is naturally temperature-regulating, hypoallergenic, and biodegradable. It has been prized for over 5,000 years across Asia and Europe, and for good reason: nothing else looks, feels, or behaves quite like it. Whether you are a knitter, weaver, embroiderer, or simply a lover of beautiful things, silk will change how you think about fibre forever.
