Polwarth and Tussah Silk Spinning Fiber - Artists Point
60 % Polwarth wool and 40% Tussah Silk Combed Top Spinning Fiber
Considered a favored fleece for spinning, Polwarth is derived from Merino and Lincoln and offers a smooth and soft handle comparable to Merino. With a longer staple length (ranging from 5 to 7 inches) and a fine 21 to 25 micron count, Polwarth is an ideal choice for both spinning and wet felting, resulting in strong, sleek, and silky yarn with defined stitches and vibrant colors when dyed. With a reputation for elasticity, durability, and excellent drape, this exceptional fiber is blended with tussah silk, providing a subtle luxurious sheen to elevate your fiber art projects.
