Description

50/50% Polwarth/Mulberry silk roving/combed top. This is spun equal quantities white, blues, gold and red violet. This spinning fibre, has been blended 5 times to produce a smooth even texture. Polwarth is a matte fibre and the addition of the silk produces a strong, lustrous yarn. Due to the silk in the fibre, it can be slippery to spin, therefore some spinning experience is recommended.

Fibre: 50/50% Polwarth and Mulberry silk
Uses: Spinning and felting
Weight: Approximately 100 grams

The fibre is hand painted using commercial acid dyes in a smoke and pet free studio.

Our fibre in small batches of two. There may be some minor colour differences between the dyed fibre as wool is a natural fibre and 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 that 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.

Our fibre photographed in a light box to show accurate colours. However, as monitor setting vary, the colours might appear slightly different on delivery.
