Silk has extensive heat-regulating qualities and can therefore be used in garments all year round. Silk can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture while still feeling dry against your skin, so it is wonderful for summer wear. At the same time, silk, like wool, has insulating properties, retaining heat in cold weather.
The little moth on the yarn label indicates that the pupae were allowed to evolve into moths and leave their cocoons, thereby allowing them to complete their life cycle.
