The Beauty of Pure Silk

Clay Tee (short sleeve version) by Ozetta
Knitting for Olive Pure Silk, color Wheat

Experience the pleasure of knitting & wearing pure silk. An amazing fiber; silk is naturally hypoallergenic & breathable, making it comfortable to wear all year long.

The Clay Tee by Ozetta is knit in Knitting for Olive Pure Silk. Spun with 100% bourette silk, this fingering weight yarn is perfect for tops, tanks, cardigans, wraps & scarves. Bourette is crafted from waste created during silk processing. It has a pleasing matte, relaxed finish for sophisticated, yet casual knits.

All of the silk in this yarn is made from already open cocoons where the silkworms have transformed into moths & fluttered away.

The pattern features rows of garter stitch “stripes” against a smooth stockinette background, giving the top an appealing texture. A rolled neckline & elbow-length sleeves create a luxe casual vibe.

Two strands of the fingering weight yarn held together create a nice, substantial fabric with perfect drape. Choose either a short or long sleeve version.
