Silk Cocoons
∼Fiber line #344
vendor color: P 3631
Silk Cocoons details:
• Fiber content: Silk
Silk Cocoons description:
A filament fiber, silk comes from the cocoons of several insects of the order Lepidoptera. To use silk cocoons, soften them in almost boiling water and allow them to soften and then unwind, as a cocoon is really a center pull skein. To do traditional reeled silk several are softened at a time and then reeled and twisted. These silk cocoons have been degummed.

Cultivated Silk Top
∼Fiber line #342
vendor color: T 132
Cultivated Silk Top details:
• Fiber content: Silk
Cultivated Silk Top description:
Cultivated silk is the finest of all fibers. Cultivated silk worms, Bombyx mori, eat only mulberry leaves, which contain very little tannin, so their fibers are beautifully white. It is perfect for dyeing, blending and spinning. Knitters take note: 100% silk yarn will not hold its shape well when knitted because silk fibers have very little elasticity. Consider blending silk with wool or camel down for a more "knittable" yarn, or use textured stitches and cables.

Rayon Top
∼Fiber line #346
vendor color: T 158
Rayon Top details:
• Fiber content: Rayon
Rayon Top description:
The soft, smooth fibers of viscose rayon spin into a lustrous yarn. Although silk-like in appearance, rayon is a cellulose fiber chemically similar to cotton. Its soft hand makes it a pleasure to spin. Try it alone or blend rayon with other fibers to add a beautiful sheen. Staple lengths range from 4-5". Rayon takes cold water, fiber reactive dyes well, so you will never be limited by color.

Silk Noil
∼Fiber line #343
vendor color: 3430000 L
Silk Noil details:
• Fiber content: Silk
Silk Noil description:
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.

Tussah Silk Top
∼Fiber line #341
vendor color: 7 320 A
Tussah Silk Top details:
• Fiber content: Silk
Tussah Silk Top description:
Tussah silk is produced by wild or semi-cultivated worms of the genus Antheraea. These worms eat leaves of oak, plum, jujube or castor bean plants which contain varying amounts of tannin. Depending upon the diet of the silk worm, tussah silk can range in color from off-white to light brown (see item 395). The fibers of our tussah silk top are a soft honey color. They are combed and ready for worsted spinning or combining with other fibers.
