Silk Caps
Made from degummed cocoons, the silk cocoons are stretched into a cap
shape over an arched bamboo slat. Handspinners peel a layer off the
cap carefully shaping it into a rectangle in preparation for spinning.
The silk caps take dye beautifully!

FAQs
What is crimp?
Crimp is the natural waviness or curl of the wool fibers. Each breed grows
fleece with a characteristic crimp pattern.
What does Ready-To-Spin mean?
The fibers have not been combed or carded. But they are fully cleaned
and de-haired, thus Ready-To-Spin.
