Japanese Kibiso Silk Skein - 3000dn sukumo Packaged in a simple plasticKibiso (also called choshi) denotes silk drawn from the outer layer of the silk cocoon, considered "waste" in comparison to the smooth filament that makes up the inner cocoon. Our suppliers in Gunma, Japan stockpile these uneven remains and reel them into raw, crisp skeins. Their reeling mill is one of only two mills still operating in Japan, and its skeins are rare 100% Japanese silk. Kibiso skeins come in coarse 3000dn and fine 1000dn varieties.
