Cultivated silk "hankies" add luxury to your hand-spun yarns. Approximately 10 inches square and many layers. These are made by stretching silk cocoons across a frame. Spin it and ply it with your wool for a lovely sheen, or use it alone.

The natural white color is perfect for dyeing. This form of silk allows the artist to hand-paint across the fibre for sumptuous color. Silk takes dye beautifully.  Silk hankies may be used in paper-making process and felting as well. Also known as Mawata silk.

This listing is for a generous 100 grams (or 3 1/2 ounces) of silk fibre. It is the amount shown in the photo. This is a lot of silk for the money!
