Recycled Silk Fibers:
Silk remnants from weaving mills in India, these fibers are a mix of colors with fabulous shine.  Staple length ranges from one inch to one foot.  Card alone or with wool, spin as is, toss in as you go--whatever you do will be unique.  Use for wet felting, needle felting, quilting techniques, embroidery, and with an embellisher.
View examples of handspun yarns made with recycled silk.

We offer three types of Recycled Silk Fibers:
Recycled Silk Fibers are little clumps of color of varied types and textures of silk.
Premium Silk Fibers are from high quality silk thrums and are groups of long lustrous strands.
Pure Silk Thrums are small skeins of premium silk thrums with the woven sari fabric attached. These luscious fibers can be cut from the fabric and wound off, spun, or used with any of the above mentioned techniques.

Colors will vary by the bag.  Looking for a particular color?  Put us a note in the shopping cart comment box and we'll do our best to oblige.
