The varied diet of the silkworms creates fibres that are shorter and thicker than Mulberry silk, with a distinct, slightly rustic and highly tactile feel, and a tougher, naturally hypoallergenic resilience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Because of its fibre structure, tussah silk provides great loft, offering excellent breathability in warm weather and warmth in the cold. It is a favourite among fibre artists as a specialty spin-in or wet felted top, adding strength, texture, and a lustrous sheen to any project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Our Tussah Silk Roving originates in Southern Africa and is hand dyed to order in our Heidelberg studio using earth friendly dyes with GOTS and Bluesign approval that conform to Oeko-Tex standards, in a process developed to use mainly solar energy and the minimum amount of water. Whether used alone or blended with other fibres, tussah silk adds beautiful sheen and drape to your work.<\/p>\n<h4>Available as<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a025g pieces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>ColourSpun Colours<\/h4>\n<p>There are over 500 colours in our range,\u00a0 see our inspiration <a href=\"https:\/\/za.pinterest.com\/biddle0288\/colour-inspiration\/\">here<\/a> .
