Dyed Silk Caps

silk cap

These "caps" are 100% silk. They are created by stretching the silk cocoons over a conical frame. These are great for knitting, weaving, spinning and felting. You can knit directly from the silk caps, lay them in the shed for an interesting weft, spin yarn from them and use them as embellishments in felting. In each case they add color, strength and luster to your project. They can even be used by themselves in making silk paper. Sold by the ounce (about 25-30 cocoons) and are available in the variegated colors described below.

Price: $7/bag
