2oz Eri Peace Silk: Natural Yellow Fiber Roving, Premium Grade Combed Top For Spinning, Blending, Felting, Weaving, Dyeing, Soap Making

Tussah Silk The economical go-to choice for soap making. Tussah silk, also known as Wild silk, isn't strictly cultivated so the caterpillars can receive varying diets resulting in different hues and textures. This precious golden fiber is only produced in the Assam region of India and was once reserved for royalty. Eri Peace Silk Eri is also called Peace silk because it is cruelty-free, harvested after the silk caterpillar emerges from its cocoon as a moth, allowing it to live a full life cycle. The rich golden and copper tones you can find are completely natural and come from the conditions in which the silk worms are cultivated. Mulberry Silk Mulberry silk is made by cultivated Bombyx Mori moths that eat only mulberry leaves—essentially a superfood for silkworms! The result is a superior quality silk that lends beautiful drape to homespun yarns. Soap Making We recommend Tussah silk for soap making. Create the most luxurious bars by dissolving small amounts of silk in your lye water; also makes your bars harder and longer lasting. It works equally well for cold process soaps and DIY moisturizers. About Living Dreams Yarn Living Dreams is a family-run yarn and fiber producer located in the Pacific Northwest, USA.
