Silk fibre for spinning
Items are in stock and ready to go first class unless it says otherwise. Please ask me for a sample of any of these fibres. Don't forget to write your postal address and which particular fibre(s) you're interested in.
Mulberry silk tops
Beautifully soft. Silkworms fed on mulberry produce the whitest silk. This sliver is ready to spin on its own or blend with other fibres. Takes dye well.
From 4.90 per 100g depending on quantity ordered.
Tussah silk - S grade
Beautifully soft. Tussah means 'wild' and the silk worms which produce tussah silk have fed on any leaves, resulting in a less white silk, sometimes called 'raw' silk. This sliver is ready to spin on its own or blend with other fibres. Takes dye well.
From 3.70 per 100g
Please email us for a sample of any of these fibres. Don't forget to write your postal address and which particular fibre(s) you're interested in.
