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 yarn, or better thread, is made from pure vegetarian silk, tussah silk. 6 fine silk threads have been twisted together to create a strong but fine thread. Intended to be used as warp yarn for looms, it can also be used for sewing or to add a special touch to your Fiber work.
