Silk Noil Fiber, Raw Silk (sold by the ounce)
#343

Silk noil, also know as "raw silk" is short knots of fiber gathered from the inner part of the silk cocoon. When spinning you will find the characteristics of this fiber to be very similar to those of cotton. Be sure to put enough twist in your yarn to insure its strength. It can be spun alone or try blending it with other fibers. Silk noil is the perfect choice when you want to add texture to your yarn. If you are looking for a wider color palette, the tussah silk noil also dyes well. We recommend using the Wash Fast Acid or Country Classic dyes.
