About Silk
Pure silk has been treasured for thousands of years and not only because it looks good. Soft, smooth and luxurious against your skin, silk is also a natural insulator providing thermal warmth in cooler temperatures, and releasing warmth to keep you cool when it’s hot. Silk is highly breathable and draws moisture away, releasing it into the air, to keep you dry and comfortable. It is well suited to sensitive skin.
New Zealand Nature clothing is made from ‘filament’ silk where the long, natural threads are directly unwound from the cocoon of the mulberry silkworm. It’s recognised as the highest quality silk. This versatile, knit fabric is incredibly strong and durable relative to its lighter weight and yields garments with a smooth sheen. It retains its shape, it will not pill and optimises silk’s inherent breathable properties.
These Silk Long Underwear Extra Tall Leggings are made from premium quality, single knit (jersey), stretch silk. Light weight, super stretchy and highly breathable, it’s ideal for underwear. It’s supremely comfortable and feels soft and smooth against your skin. It’s machine washable and quick drying. Single knit silk is durable for its weight, but due to the jersey weave, it may ladder (run) if damaged. To help avoid this, you could use our Silk Delicates Bag when machine washing. See ‘Care Directions’ below.
