n-63b kibiso silk

This is a very unusual silk made from the waste silk. When you reel silk from a cocoon, there is always a bit of fuzzy thing on the surface, which you need to yank off before you can start reeling cleanly. Traditionally, we never throw this away, and keep it till there is enough to spin silk out. This is what that is. It has a full body, since there is still sericin on the surface of the yarn. If you degum the yarn, it will become extremely soft and fuzzy. Great as a warp or weft yarn. Try to make a sculptural garment! Good for lace knitting, too.  There are more colors , a chunky, and the indigo chunky kibiso available.  Please note that the colors you see on the screen may not be accurate as each monitor displays differently.
