All About Silk eBook

Spinners usually spin silk first in a wool/silk blend—and what an excellent pairing that is. While spinning pure silk is a little trickier than spinning a blend, it is a very rewarding process with beautiful results. After you try that, you might want to dabble in dyeing silk as the fiber takes dye beautifully. Be prepared for vivid, lustrous colors.

From a silk worm's origins to silk production to the final yarn, this eBook looks at silk in depth. Learn to reel, spin and dye silk as well as other great facts about this luxurious fiber.

With this eBook, you'll:

• Discover all the different species of wild silk moths from around the world
• Learn the stages of a silk moth's life, from egg to moth
• See what it takes to grow your own silk
• Gain the knowledge to spin from pure silk hankies, tops or bricks as well as silk wool blends
• Learn how to dye your own silk into radiant and vivid colors
• Explore spinning silk for weaving, and weave your own warp-faced fabrics

Silk is one of the most lustrous natural fibers in the world. With this eBook you will have the knowledge and ability to turn that fiber into yarns you will love to use in your knitting, crochet, weaving, embroidery and more!
