Description
This is a mix of white, teal, violet, gold and cabernet 50/50% Polwarth/Mulberry silk combed top.
The spinning fibre has been blended five times to produce a smooth even texture.
Polwarth is a matte fibre and the addition of the silk produces a strong and 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
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. 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-wash 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.
I photograph my fibre in a light box to show accurate colours. However, as monitor settings vary, the colours might appear slightly different on delivery.
