the largest cashmere exporter in China- Consinee cashmere yarn
Spun silk yarns

The weak filament of the transparent silken envelope remaining from the reeling process, and the damaged, discoloured, or imperfectly shaped cocoons become the raw material for lustrous, creamy coloured spun silk yarn. This cocoon "waste" must first have the sericin removed (degummed) with soap and water. Next, the fibre is cut into uniform lengths and carded to remove short tangled bits as well as the brown pupa inside the cocoons. Combing lays all the fibres parallel in a sliver which is spun into a shimmering yarn. Spun silk is the most familiar yarn made available to handworkers.

Consinee provides high quality 100% silk yarns or silk blended yarns like silk cotton yarn, silk cotton cashmere yarns. Silk is one of the most valuable natural fiber and is used for thousands of years for spinning. In Consinee 15 Spring Summer series, silk cashmere is widely used. Silk cashmere product like KASHMIR (NM2/48 WORSTED), BHUTAN (NM2/56 WORSTED), SAMARKAND (NM 2/60 WORSTED) are popular in world market.

High quality spun silk yarn is easy to work with though it is more slippery than cotton or wool. An empty toilet paper tube placed on the arm of a ball winder will keep the silk yarns tidy if they slip off the ball while winding. The silk yarn should be handled as little as possible while dressing the loom to prevent fluffing and pilling.
