This high-quality 15/2×2 tussah silk yarn has a nice sheen and mostly smooth strand (some nubs and slubs to be expected). Tussah silk is made from silk cocoons spun by silk moths that eat varied or wild diets rather than mulberry leaves. Is spun more tightly but loosens once dyed and washed, discount because of this.
Priced per approx 500g (1.1 lb) ± 5% cone. Fingering weight, 1860 yards per pound.
