undyed silk caps - 50gms

Product Description
Caps are a fabulous source of unprocessed silk fibre. They are made by stretching cocoons over a frame. Lightly felted, this glorious silk can be used as a fabric when stabilised or needle felted for strength. Pulled apart, single layers of silk can be sourced with ease. Great for silk paper, to blend with wool and other fibres, spun, felted, needle felted and so much more.
50gm = approx 4 silk caps
Dye with Acid dyes.
