Bombyx Silk TopsBombyx Silk Tops

Bombyx Silk Tops

Treetops imports only the finest most lustrous grade A-1 Chinese silk for our hand dyed silk range. Bombyx silk is commonly referred to as 'Mulberry Silk'. The silkworms are only fed mulberry leaves and thereby produce a stunning pearl-white, highly lustrous silk. Scrumptious for felting, handspinning or silk paper making.

   
Tussah Silk TopsTussah Silk Tops

Tussah Silk Tops

Tussah silkworms are reared in the wild on tree leaves which contain tannin, thereby creating a lightly honey-coloured silk. Our tops have a 3-4 inch staple length. Tussah silk is slightly less fine and lustrous than Bombyx silk. A wonderful choice for felting, handspinning or silk paper making.

   
Silk HankiesSilk Hankies

Silk Hankies

Silk hankies come from cocoons which have been de-gummed, pierced and stretched layer upon layer over a small 25cm square frame. Each cocoon is as sheer as a cobweb – or use several layers together for a more textural effect in felt. Silk hankies are also used for handspinning or creating silk paper.
