Louet Silk Top Cultivated Silk Sliver Spinning Fiber 7.311

High Quality Cultivated Silk fiber ready for blending or spinning on a wheel or spindle. There are two types of silk- cultivated and wild. Mulberry Silk is cultivated and the worms are fed strictly mulberry leaves. Cultivated silk is typically finer, stronger, smoother and more uniform. Tussah silk is wild and the worms eat whatever they can find which affects the color and texture. Tussah silk is still very beautiful but has less luster and is not as strong as the cultivated.
