There are three grades of silk for yarn: reeled, spun, and noil.
Reeled silk is the finest grade available and is mostly reserved for industrial weaving and fabric yarns. Reeled silk is composed of those continuous filaments that have been unwound directly from the cocoons, then twisted together. Because of its high cost and premium in the textile market, reeled silk is a rarity among handknitting yarns. It is also somewhat impractical for handknitters because it is extremely slippery and prone to snags. The second and most common type of silk you’ll see in handknitting yarn is called spun silk yarn. As the name suggests, spun silk consists of silk fibers that have been cut into standard lengths, carded together, and then spun. They can also be further processed by combing, which removes any shorter fibers and noils (which are set aside for more textured noil silk yarns). Spun silk yarn is generally made using the waste silk from the reeling process. This waste silk could be fibers from a cocoon that was pierced and the moth allowed to escape; fibers from damaged cocoons; the fibers from the beginning and end of the cocoon, which tend to be more irregular; the threads that the silkworm first produces to anchor itself to a nearby secure surface; or, last but not least, the most inner casing surrounding the dead chrysalis—called basin waste. |
