This Luxurious Blend of 23 Micron Superwash Merino and Extra Bleached Tussah Silk is a staple fiber every fiber enthusiast should have in their fiber stash. 75/25 blend
Superwash wool has been treated to resist felting, this is a valuable trait for washable garments made of this wonder fiber.
The 23 micron Superwash merino has been blended with extra bleached Tussah Silk which adds a silky and remarkably shiny glint to the roving. This fiber will spin effortlessly, creating a remarkably noticeable yarn with drape and shine. Yarn that will be perfect for a knitted shawl or whatever pattern you have stored in your Queue on Ravelry.
Or take this roving to a whole new level with some of our amazing dye selections. The silk will dye just a tad lighter than the merino giving your roving depth!
