BOURRETTE SILK by Filati Buratti SRL, Italy is a luxurious fine silk yarn created from 100% Seta Bourette Silk. With approximately 750 meters / 820 yards per 100 g, this yarn offers a very distinctive silk character: softly rustic, matte rather than glossy, breathable, and full of natural texture. Unlike smooth filament silk, bourette silk has a more organic, lightly slubbed appearance that gives finished fabric depth, softness, and quiet elegance.

This is the kind of silk that feels refined but not overly polished. It has the beauty of silk, but with more texture, more natural character, and a more relaxed, artisanal look. In undyed natural ivory, it feels especially timeless and versatile — beautiful on its own, perfect for elegant neutrals, and appealing to makers who love natural-fiber fabrics with softness and depth.

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
BOURRETTE SILK offers a very different silk experience from smooth, shiny silk yarns. It is softer in appearance, more matte, more textural, and more natural-looking. That makes it especially appealing for makers who want the luxury of silk without an overly glossy or formal finish.

Its fine meterage gives you flexibility. Used in one strand, it can create delicate, airy fabrics with subtle texture. Used in two strands, it becomes fuller and more practical for garments and accessories while still keeping that elegant bourette-silk character. The natural ivory shade also makes it especially beautiful for timeless garments, layering pieces, accessories, and refined textile work.

⌁ Texture & Feel
• Soft, breathable, and elegant
• Matte rather than glossy
• Natural bourette texture with subtle visual depth

Bourette silk adds:

➤ Recommended Pairings From iDOKNiT
BOURRETTE SILK is beautiful on its own, but it can also pair wonderfully with other fibers to create even more interesting fabrics.

Fine Linen
Enhances the natural, breathable, textural quality for elegant warm-weather garments.

Soft Cotton
Creates a more relaxed and wearable everyday fabric while preserving breathability.

Fine Merino
Adds elasticity and softness for garments that need a little more body and comfort.

Mohair on Silk
Adds halo and atmosphere for softer, more dimensional shawls and lightweight knitwear.

These pairings make BOURRETTE SILK especially appealing to makers who enjoy building fabrics with texture, depth, softness, and a natural luxury look.

Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)

⚑ FOR FULL-CONE SALES, THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR THE CONE. Yarn will remain on its original cone.

⚑ FOR YARN THAT IS NOT SOLD AS A FULL CONE BUT IN VARIOUS WOUND WEIGHTS, ALL YARN WILL BE WOUND INTO BALLS BY DEFAULT. CONES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE YARN PRICE. However, we can wind it onto cones upon request. Cones may be purchased separately if you prefer continuous yardage for machine knitting or multi-strand projects. One color is typically wound per cone to maintain consistency.

PLEASE BUY CONES HERE

Unlike other shops where cone costs are often built into the yarn price—regardless of the format—our pricing is transparent. You pay only for the yarn itself. If you’d like your order wound on a cone, it can be purchased separately. This small additional charge also helps cover packaging differences and the actual cost of the cone. No hidden fees, no inflated markups—just honest, straightforward pricing.

Please Note

Please keep in mind: cone yarns, especially those made with extra fine merino or cashmere, may include a protective coating used for industrial knitting. A few gentle washes will allow the yarn to bloom, soften, and reveal its natural texture.
Colors are photographed in natural light but may appear slightly different depending on your screen.
FOR YARN THAT IS CUSTOM-WOUND, ±1–2g variation per 100g may occur due to winding.
Each ball/cone is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.

Shipping & Order Processing

Orders are prepared in the order received and typically ship within 3–5 business days. Custom requests such as cone winding may require additional time. Multiple orders placed before shipment may be combined. Shipping refunds are not issued for combined orders.

We ship worldwide with tracking provided. As customs policies and tariffs can change frequently, any duties, taxes, or import fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer. These charges are not collected by us at the time of purchase but are typically paid to your local postal service or customs office upon the arrival of your package.
