Silk pongee yarn is also called eco-silk because it is made by spinning the outermost cocoon layers, or cocoons that can’t be made into pure silk or silk-spun yarn.
It is a slightly bulkier, thicker yarn with air between fibres, which is soft and fluffy to the touch.
The effect of this type of silk is no different from that of pure silk, and it is also strong and durable.
The materials used cause less skin irritation, making them perfect for those with dry or sensitive skin.
Compared to cotton, silk has about 1.2x higher moisture absorption rate and twice the moisture release rate.
The surface of silk is made up of ultra fine fibres, which is why it feels so good against the skin and not at all stiff.
This makes silk a popular choice for those with dry or sensitive skin that are concerned about rubbing.
