tussah bourette chenille
100% pure Brazillian tussah silk made in a 100% pur silk thread
al of it is pure silk
mostly chenille is the core thread an other type of thread
this is done motly out oy lazyness towards structural cohesian
but if you know what you are doing
you can make it 100% in pure silk and it will work perfectly aswell

the reason we took a tussah has to do with thte fact of that structural cohesian of th efinal result
tussah is a lot less slipery then bombyx morus silk
and so the cut fibers stay very nicely in place in the chenille structure
and tussah can be spun in a way that it coils on itself
this coiling on itself is needed for keeping the chenille structure intact

i often have the question form students
why is this used in textiles?
well chenille is a way of making a "fake velours" effect
or as some in anglish say a corduroy effect
it works easy and faster then traditional velours
and in knititng aswell as weaving you can do wunderous constructions

added bonus
for those wanting to color it.... this tussah type takes color like nothingh
wuper easy to color....
