Fibres

 

Spinning Silk
White cut and combed spun silk fibre, prepared for spinning.

Tussah Silk
This fibre is naturally tan, very long staple (3"+), strong, lustrous, and more resilient than cultivated "white" silks.

Cocoons
Cultivated Bombyx Mori Peace Silk, Eri Peace Silk, and Muga Wild Silk cocoons.

Fine Hemp
Even the best quality creamy Dutch fibre feels dry and does not draft as smoothly as does this hemp. It contains almost no course fibres, and has a beautiful soft luster.

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.
