Fibres

 

Spinning Silk
White, cut and combed spun silk fibre, prepared for spinning. Combed roving. The amazing lustre of pure, top quality staple silk.

Tussah Silk
This fibre is naturally light beige, very long staple (5"+), strong, very lustrous, and more resilient and easier to spin than cultivated, "white" silk. Use for felting, silk paper, and for doll hair and wig hats. Combed roving.

Cocoons
Cultivated Bombyx Mori Peace Silk, Eri Peace Silk, and other Silk cocoons as available.

Fine Hemp
The best quality creamy fibre! It drafts as smoothly as silk! It contains almost no course fibres, and has a beautiful soft luster. Imported many years ago, no longer being produced. Almost sold out! so don't delay on this one. Fibres are in the 3" to 4" range. Combed roving.

Bulk Hemp
This quality textile grade hemp fibre for handspinning has been combed and very well cleaned. Enzyme retted, vanilla beige in colour, slightly coarser than our very fine grade roving, the fibre has a very springy hand. Individual fibres average 6" in length.
