Most of us take fabric for granted. What I mean by that, is what fibres make up a yarn. Particularly when a fabric looks like it is natural. It might be mostly natural but it is invariably combined with manmade fibres.
Silk is natural and biodegradable. It takes dye extremely well, including eco-friendly vegetable dyes, and often comes in stunning jewel-like colours. It also has many health benefits, due to its natural antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties.
I love being out in nature, whether it’s going for a scenic walk, doing some gardening, or simply sitting quietly in a chair in the garden with a cup of tea. I love a good wildlife programme too.
