You will receive 1/2 oz (14 grams) of Cultivated Bombyx Silk by Ashland Bay Fibers in natural. This fiber is excellent to incorporate into nuno felted, wet felted and needle felted projects. It can also be incorporated into handspan yarn for an additional texture.
"Cultivated Silk, also called Bombyx silk or mulberry silk, is produced from silk worms in captivity and feed only mulberry leaves. The silk is 10-13 microns and very white."

Customer Reviews
Color is as picture, shipped in a timely manner, I ordered multiple colors of the roving and they came individually bagged in nice reclosable bags making for easy organizing. I will order from here again.
I use it for nuno felting and it is perfect!
I ordered for our Silk Road homeschool study. The silk is so soft & beautiful, we can't wait to make something special with it. Thank you!
I've never held such a silky fiber before, I'm hooked!
Beautiful silk fiber. Will be using it with wet felting. I'm just learning how to do it.
