Bombyx Morus silk fibers
of the Powdersoft type
this is a long to medium long silk fiber which allows you to create more eccentric spins
after all, the longer the fibers, the more special constructions are possible
you can't do much with short junk that you can usually find elsewhere

it is not completely degummed, there is still 5 to 7% sericin on it
we hardly ever do a complete degumming of the silk because you also lose a part
of the good properties of the silk if you do a complete degumming
this is the reason why on many industrially woven scarves, after everything is finished, a small amount of that sericin is put back
in the past they mainly did this for profit
because silk was simply incredibly expensive and the heavier they could make that silk the better for them of course
but now this is done for purely practical reasons
the silk glue also protects your fiber against UV light and so at the end of the ride you have a more sustainable textile

comes in bags of 100 grams

perfect for pure spinning
or to process in a mix
dyes EXTREMELY easily and this with both dyes for vegetable fibers
and dyes for animal fibers
because the silk fibers are so thin you can also very easily entwine them in wool felting
so if you are building up felt in wool you can put thin tufts of this silk in it
the silk will NOT felt but it will felt along everywhere without any problem
and therefore undergo a kind of bonding process
this is perfect for incorporating silk gloss effects in your wool felting

and so you can continue
endless what can be done with silk wick
