Natural mulberry silk, also known as peace silk, shiny and beautiful. Ideal for spinning, felting & craft work. Mulberry silk is also known as cultivated silk or bombyx silk. Mulberry silk is finer, softer, stronger and has more lustre than Tussah silk, but it also kills the little worm inside, which doesn't happen in the production of Tussah Silk. It's 10-13 micron and is very white and perfect for dyeing. It will add extra texture and sheen to your felted project and your spun yarn when added to batts or fleece.
This tussah silk thread, derived from pure vegetarian silk, is composed of 6 twisted strands for a durable yet delicate yarn. Ideal for use as warp yarn in looms, it doubles as a sewing thread or embellishment for Fiber projects. Each 250g cone contains 1166m of 6-ply tussah silk (vegetarian silk).
Unfortunately, due to its fine quality, the silk warp cannot be wound into center pull balls and is only sold in cone form.
