About Silk
Pure silk has been treasured for thousands of years and not only because it’s beautiful. 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 Double Knit Silk Leggings are made from premium quality, double knit, stretch silk. Super stretchy and highly breathable, it is supremely comfortable and feels soft and smooth against your skin. Double knit silk is durable and easy to care for. Even if it is damaged, due to the interlocking (double knit) weave, it will not ladder (run). It’s machine washable and quick drying.
Care Directions
Please follow instructions on the care label attached to each garment. It is machine washable, please use the delicate cycle with a very mild detergent. For best results, use our Silk Delicates Bag when machine washing. Lay flat to dry avoiding direct sunlight. Please do not tumble dry.
Testimonials
"I am thrilled with the fit and quality of these items [Double Knit Silk Leggings & Women's silk Turtleneck] and I will be ordering more. The silk leggings are wonderful as a thermal layer. They feel slinky and smooth under any trousers and unlike synthetic brands, they have no static charge so that the outer layer sits nicely without clinging or distorting... Likewise the silk turtleneck has a wonderful feel and I love to wear it under woollen sweaters... Thank you for everything." - G.P., Victoria, Australia
