We are really excited to add these versatile and dye-able fibers to our repertoire. Tussah is wild silk, as opposed to cultivated (Wild silk worms eat whatever they want, and cultivated silkworms eat only mulberry leaves to make the silk completely white).

The silk is bleached which makes it a more uniform creamy white instead of the natural honey brown color. Dye up great with our Acid Dyes for wool and silk, also the iDye for natural fibers. Or paint and steam to get color variation with any of our silk dyes.

The wool is fine and soft, average 25 micron count, and is US grown, which supports our farmers. Combing removes the short fibers, so you are left with smooth uniform long fibers.

Spin your own custom yarns, or jump on the bandwagon and try out felting! Nice quality and great prices.

I got some wool roving to use for wet felting (Nuno felting) on silk chiffon scarves, and it worked beautifully. It also dyed beautifully! It was a great deal, too.

Great price for undyed silk roving. Color is whiter than other silk roving I have ordered, which would be great for dyeing.
