Tussah, or wild, silk worms live naturally in tropical or semi-tropical forests. Their silk is gathered after the moth emerges. The caterpillars eat all kinds of different trees, all rich in tannin, so the silk is beige to brownish toned.
This fibre is naturally A SOFT BEIGE, very long staple (5"+), strong, lustrous, and more resilient than cultivated "white" silks. It dyes beautifully, with colours slightly muted by the soft undertone of beige.
THE VERY BEST FOR DOLL HAIR! and it makes a soft, pretty and actually therapeutic nice fringe for a "wig-hat" - and alternative to the baldness following chemotherapy.
