Merino Silk Flax
About this fibre:
50% merino / 25% tussah silk / 25% flax: 100g | 23 microns, 75-80mm staple
The soft merino blended with tussah silk and natural flax fibre procuce a uniquely textured combed top and finished yarn. The silk gives it a lot of shine while the flax add a more rustic feel to the unspun fibre. It's amazing to see how the flax changes once it's spun and washed. The key to spinning this fibre is to pre-draft a lot. This will ensure that the wool, silk and flax are blended thoughout the finished yarn.
