The same fine size as our white silk fine 2-ply,
but a completely different hand, because it is Tussah, wild silk. The Tussah
moth eats oak leaves, tough and strong, and so is it's fibre. Use for fine
crochet, machine knitting, weaving warp and weft, lace work. |
About our "Symphonic Black" The Logwood Project
is a joint venture for replanting of Logwood trees in the Caribbean.
People can contribute to the good will effort by purchasing this special "Symphonic
Black". "Symphonic Black" is dyed without using any chrome, nor any
mordant but iron. It is so sparkly bright on the tussah that it is like
starry night sky. It comes out a blue black, and the yarn is very thickened
by the 8-step dye process that usually takes a week.
Skeins about 3.6 ounces, approximately 1000 yards.
