Mulberry Silk Sliver

Sliver of superfine mulberry silk, A1 quality! These extra fine silk fibers are perfect for felting into and onto FLYFEL^®-tops and FLYFEL^®-web. The woolen fibers wrap themselves around the silk threads during felting and through that, hold onto them.

Important to know: Silk does not felt on silk. You always need at least a super fine layer of wool.
