Nassi Peduncle Silk Roving

Natural Silk Fibre with Warm Brown Colour

Nassi Peduncle silk is made from the stalks that attach the silk moth cocoons to branches. The fibre has a slightly coarse feel, similar to Tussah or raw silk, and a relatively short staple.

Despite its rustic character, it is beautifully soft with a striking natural sheen and a rich brown colour. This silk produces yarns with wonderful texture and lustre and adds depth when blended with other fibres.

Suitable for

• Hand spinning
• Fibre blending
• Textile art and fibre work
• Adding texture and sheen to yarns
• Blending with wool or luxury fibres
