Often referred to as Pearl White due to the sheen.
There are various grades of silk tops, relating to their colouring, length and how fine the fibres are. These A1 Mulberry Tops are the highest grade we can find to stock. There are lower quality versions of mulberry silk but we choose not to stock them, prefering the A1 Pearl White
As with all silks these tops will not felt on their own, though they may be incorporated into wool blends and then felted. This can give a very attractive glimmer to finished pieces.
Silk is an easy fibre to dye with Kraftkolour landscape dyes. If dyed in a microwave it is quick and easy wth good results. You may find when dyed it stiffens a little when dried. All you need to do is give it a light beating or scrunching up in your hands. It very quickly returns to the soft lustre feel.
