Description
This fibre is made up of 50/50% Polwarth / Mulberry silk combed top. It has a glorious mix of purple and gold with white shades. The fibre has been blended 5 times to produce a smooth and even texture. Polwarth is a matte fibre and so the addition of silk produces a strong and lustrous yarn.
It can be slippery to spin because there is silk in the fibre. It is therefore recommended some spinning experience is required.
Fibre: 50/50% Polwarth and Mulberry silk
Uses: Spinning and felting
Approximately 100 grams
The fibre is hand painted using commercial acid dyes in a smoke- and pet-free studio.
I dye my fibre in small batches of two. Because wool is a natural fibre, there may be some minor colour differences between the dyed fibre; it will vary in how it takes up the dye.
Care: Hand-washing in cool water and lay flat to dry. I have taken every care to ensure the fibre is colour-fast, however you may find slight colour bleeding initially so wash your yarn and garment separately for the first three washes.
I photograph my fibre in a light box to show accurate colours at the time. However, as monitor setting may vary, the colours might appear slightly different on delivery.
