KnitSilk Tussah Wild Silk Yarn – Combed 20/2 Nm | 500 g Cone | Approx. 5,000 Yards | Natural & Dyeable

🧶 Ultra-Fine Wild Silk in a Generous 500 g Cone

Meet a finer expression of Tussah wild silk: a combed 20/2 Nm yarn with an elegant natural character, delicate hand, and beautiful potential for intricate textile work. KnitSilk Tussah Wild Silk Yarn is natural, dyeable, and designed for makers who want a lightweight silk fibre with softness, subtle sheen, and graceful drape.

Each cone weighs 500 grams and provides approximately 1,000 yards per 100 grams, or about 5,000 yards across the full cone. That generous length makes this ultra-fine yarn a strong choice for larger lace projects, fine crochet, weaving, embroidery, and textile art while still giving you the airy character of a cobweb-weight silk.

🌱 Sustainability Story

This Tussah wild silk yarn is presented as natural, biodegradable, eco-friendly, sustainable, and carbon neutral, with Indian origin and a dyeable base. Silk is an animal-derived fibre, so it is not vegan. Specific cruelty-free claims have not been made for this product. Its 500 g cone and generous yardage can support thoughtful material planning, while its biodegradability offers a more natural end-of-life profile than fully synthetic fibres.

🔍 How This Yarn Compares

• Compared with standard lace silk: The 20/2 Nm construction and 1,000-yard length per 100 grams place this yarn at an especially fine, cobweb-like end of the lace spectrum.
• Compared with mulberry silk: Tussah wild silk can offer a more organic fibre character, while mulberry silk is often more uniform and polished.
• Compared with merino lace yarn: Silk offers a smoother, more luminous hand and fluid drape, while merino generally brings more elasticity and warmth.
• Compared with synthetic fine yarns: This yarn offers a natural silk fibre story, dyeable base, and biodegradable qualities rather than a fully synthetic composition.

🫧 Care Instructions

• 🤍 Handle gently and keep the fine yarn away from rough surfaces and sharp edges.
• 💧 Hand wash carefully in cool water with a mild silk-safe cleanser when needed.
• 🌬️ Air dry naturally and reshape gently while damp.
• 🚫 Do not bleach, wring, tumble dry, or expose to harsh heat.
• 🎨 If dyeing, test the dye and process on a small swatch first.
