Bourette silk is made with the leftover, “waste” after more premium grades of silk are made. Don’t come for me, I’m not saying it is trash or anything, just that it is not considered the highest quality of silk. It’s still silk, which makes it be considered a premium fiber. Since it is shorter bits that get prepared and spun the way cotton is spun, it makes sense that the finished product feels more like cotton. Your Melides is absolutely gorgeous. Maybe the heat wave that is currently hitting NY will warm up the UK in a few days as it makes its way across the pond and you’ll get to wear it before 2025. 😊 Crossing fingers.
Ah, it make sense now why this silk feels so different. Oh, and I would be glad to see a heat wave over here. My husband took out his Super Selene sweater out yday🙈
It was 28C today. This is not normal. It’s actually a tad bit frightening. I live in the mountains. The usual temperature for today is somewhere between 16-18C. 😬

Yes, these temperatures in the mountains do not sound right 😳
