MADRAGOA

Madragoa is a 100% natural silk yarn, which is the concept of sustainability right at its genesis. To get a better understanding of this yarn, it is important to know its composition – and what it represents.

NATURAL SILK Madragoa is produced with bourette silk, one of the characteristics of Mulberry silk. Bourette silk is what remains after the silk is spun. The fibers are shorter, the texture is not uniform, and it does not have as much shine. But that doesn't mean it can't be used to make yarn. Quite the contrary! This natural silk can, and should, be reused – and it is with it that Madragoa is made. This explains the matte and textured appearance of this yarn, which surprises many people, accustomed to the classical smooth sheen of silk.

THE ADVANTAGES Despite being recycled silk, bourette is still silk and has the same characteristics as this fiber: it retains heat in cold weather, cools down in hot weather and it’s very, very light. And because it is made from recycled silk, the advantages are endless: environmentally, it contributes to reducing material waste; and economically, as natural silk yarn, it can be produced at more affordable prices.

Makers Mate

For years we have been asked for a ‘handle’ for our stamps to make stamping easy. Well we listened! We worked hard with a 3D printing engineer to develop this amazing tool which makes not only stamping easy with an ergonomic handle, but also can be used to hold down stencils. The ‘Large’ has an acrylic base for 12cm, the ‘Small’ is available separately and has a base of 6cm.
