4.5 oz Fair Trade Recycled Sari Silk Fiber, Loose Fiber

Description

Make batts and spin your own yarn with this colorful recycled sari silk fiber from Nepal. This high-quality fiber was produced by a women's collective in Nepal whom I've worked with for years; your purchase helps these women escape poverty and send their children to school.

This silk fiber is excellent quality. It is "silk thrum," meaning that it is comprised of the leftover ends of warp yarns. These leftovers are generated when looms in textile factories are set up, replenished, or changed to a new color or pattern. This pack of fiber is all loose fiber. If you're new to fiber and not accustomed to working with loose fiber, you may prefer my "Premium Quality" fiber packs, which are neatly organized into skeins for easy handling and no tangles.

You will receive the exact fiber shown in this photo; see my other listings for fiber in other colors. A lot can fit into a Flat Rate Box, which ships anywhere in the US, insured, for just $12. If you purchase multiple items and I can pack them into a Flat Rate Box, I'll happily refund any excess shipping fees.

Please note that the shipping fees quoted below are for USPS First Class, which is a slow but cost-efficient way to ship small parcels. For a small additional fee, I can ship by Priority Mail. International buyers: convo me for a shipping quote if your country is not listed below, if you need Priority service, or if you'd like to buy multiple items.

Stored in my smoke-free, cat-friendly home.
