The Softness of Merino Wool combined with the lustre of silk. Extra Bleached Tussah silk to be exact, and 23 Micron 64 count merino. A match made in paradise! The silk provides a longer staple length and a brilliant lustre, while the merino provides added softness and strength. Perfect for any project you would use silk or wool with. The Natural grey merino wool lends itself to a beautiful heathered affect when dying. This roving takes dye beautifully. We recommend our country classic dyes. The blend ratio is 75/25 merino/tussah silk
