helpful hint:  bombyx fibres are so fine that they have a tendency to not draft smoothly.  occasionally you will need to "snap” (or tug quite firmly) along the length of the tops until they fluff, enabling it to draft more easily.   anyone who has handled fibres for spinning will be familiar with this procedure - you will not find it difficult.

 

*  denotes eight colour combinations - which are created by combing equal amounts of two different four-colour colourways.

+  denotes colourways which have slightly less wash-fastness.  They contain a bright "fuchsia-like" dye which is slightly less wash-fast than our other dyes.  this is a common characteristic for any fuchsia dye.
