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.

This design example consists out of 2 layers of FLYFEL^®-web; lime green and black. Both parts were cut into the same size and at different parts square areas were cut out. Through these, just like through windows, the color of the other side becomes visible. Additionally, in these areas partially colored Pongee and dyed slivers were pushed between the layers and also felted. Some finely pulled strands out of black FLYFEL®-tops emphasize the square character of the pattern.

A couple strands of white mulberry silk rovings were additionally felted onto the wool. Afterward, the scarf was dyed in a pot filled with slightly simmering purple silk paint, until the desired color intensity is reached. Pongee and silk fibers absorb the color equally.
