Silk

Silk is a wonderful alternative to wool, especially if you live in a warm climate or have allergy problems. This versatile fiber is very strong and surprisingly warm considering its light weight.

Although I love to spin silk, lately I have been using tussah sliver to make silk fusion. Also known as silk paper, this is a flexible fabric created with fiber and acrylic fabric medium. It’s easy to make and extremely versatile. Ask for a free set of instructions with your next silk order.

Tussah Silk – Natural $3.00/oz

There’s nothing quite like silk. This one has good staple length and a beautiful honey color.

   

Tussah Silk – bleached $3.00/oz

The same beautiful sliver in bleached white. Great for dyeing.

 

Silk/Bamboo - $3.00/oz

Treat yourself to luxury. This special blend of 60% bombyx silk and 40% bamboo must be handled to be believed. I haven't been this excited about a new product in years (and that's really saying something)!
