Characteristics

Iyo Raw Silk has a classy gloss and airy texture. It is bulky as threads are carefully and slowly extracted from cocoons and thus maintains the original “S-shaped” waves that created by silkworms.

Link with the Production Area

Seiyo City is a unique production area as it uses multi-strand reeling machines that reel from a large number of cocoons at low speed while suppressing tension by a raw-crocheting method, and the area also uses raw cocoons that are kept refrigerated.
