Sepia - Tussah Silk Handdyed Combed Top Spinning Fiber

Like an old time photo, these colors are rich yet subtle, evoking a sense of yesteryear. Browns, reds, and grays shading to black are highlighted by a dash of mustard.

My Tussah Silk starts as a lovely natural honey color. Tussah silk comes from a genus of giant silk moths called Antheraea. Tussah Moths eat oak instead of Mulberry, and the honey color is a result of the tannins in oak trees. The diameter of Tussah is thicker, making it easier to spin, but just as lovely and shiny soft as Bombyx. 100% Tussah Silk, Approximately, 2 oz Braid.

The braid or skein pictured is representative of this colorway; your braid may vary slightly, as handdyeing does not produce an exact result from lot to lot. I do my best to ensure they will be as close as possible. I use professional Lanaset or WashFast Acid Dyes in various methods to dye your skein of yarn or braid of fiber. Like the color, want a different fiber, just ask, I often have it in stock but not listed yet.

Please see my shop policies for shipping, return and payment information. Colors in my photographs may vary due to different monitor settings. I do my best to get them as close on my monitor as I see them. All of my items come from a smoke free home. We do have a dog and a cat and they do wander in the studio from time to time.
