Katia Silk consists of a unique blend of 80% hand-spun Katia silk and 20% cotton. The spun Katia silk is harvested from the cocoons of a wild silk butterfly, after which the short, soft filaments are spun by hand into thick, irregular yarns. A harmonious blend with cotton yarns creates a captivating, contrasting matt-gloss effect. The irregularities in the threads lend this wallcovering a surprising texture and distinctive appearance.
