🔍 How This Yarn Compares

• Compared with mulberry silk: Tussah wild silk can offer a more organic, naturally textured character, while mulberry silk is often more uniform and polished in appearance.
• Compared with merino wool: Silk gives a smoother, more luminous hand and a different drape, while merino generally offers more elasticity and warmth.
• Compared with cotton: This silk yarn is lighter and more fluid, with a delicate sheen rather than cotton’s matte, grounded hand.
• Compared with synthetic lace yarns: Tussah silk offers a natural fibre experience and biodegradable qualities, with a more organic surface and fibre story.

🫧 Care Instructions

• 🤍 Handle gently and avoid snagging the fine yarn on rough surfaces.
• 💧 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.
