This high-quality tussah silk yarn has a nice sheen and mostly smooth strand (some nubs and slubs to be expected, but not a lot of them), a twist that is neither very tight nor very loose, and offers strength and grip/texture to the finished product. Tussah silk is made from silk cocoons spun by silk moths that eat varied or wild diets rather than mulberry leaves.
Priced per approx 500g (1.1 lb) ± 5% cone. 3720 yards per pound, 15/2nm.
