#mulberry silk yarn

[theyarnhub]

The queen of fibers, without question, is silk. When left in its natural state, mulberry silk yarn is a luxurious yarn that is immensely alluring. Its color is cream. Speak with yarn hub

project background:

my parents have constructed the guest house of their dreams, and it's the Green Dragon Inn (pics some other time, but trust: my mom is on her interior decorating GAME for this property).

the bed is a four-poster of wrought iron vines and leaves, with gauzy white drapes as a canopy all round:

so the holiday plan is a set of handwoven silk curtain "ties" (with neodymium magnets in the ends) for that bed.

I searched twistedthreads.org for "vines" and got a bunch of options, but settled on the one above with gold leaves on a green background. Bought some pure silk from my favorite discount yarn dealer, Old Mill Yarns, and headed to the dye pot to realize my vision.

the pattern is not balanced, but since I am hoping for four ties from the band, I will turn the cards forward for like 20 repeats then backward for like 20 repeats (etc) and just cut out the crappiness of the turns.

plausibly im going to go with these, warp in the solid weft in the variegated. my main hesitation is that if the weft actually looks terrible when i start working it up, i almost definitely don't have anything else around that will go with this warp, and then i will have a puzzle to deal with. my other main hesitation is that it's insanely bright and i don't actually know anyone who seems like theyre desperate to wear this color combination and im somewhat worried its busyness will compete with being a nice exercise in herringbone

New roving! Orange mulberry silk.

[hello-delicious-tea]

The German Twisted cast-on method is, I swear to god, some kind of bizarre string-based enchantment. Make a cat’s cradle! Stick a needle in and swish it about a little! Have a miraculously stretchy stitch appear on your needle that somehow also incorporates your first row?????

It works. But I genuinely don’t understand how and I did it eighty-eight times in a row this evening.

As a vegan who used to use a LOT of felt in crafts, the only thing I will note is try to make sure you're buying from a place that actually treats the sheep well. Yes, sheering doesn't hurt the sheep - unless it gets nicked by the sheers - but as far as I know the whole vegan debate with wool has to do more with how the sheep is cared for when alive, not the wool itself.

Angora, wool, heck you can even make yarn out of shed dog and cat fur. Even people hair!

Besides. If you go out of your way to find a fiber farm that you know takes good care of their animals and you get your wools and yarns from there, congrats you're also supporting a small/local business :]

Specifically on the note of angora rabbit fiber, check out cedharhillfiberfarm on Instagram and TikTok. They have some videos of both sheering their rabbits and plucking the fur while spinning it to show the reality of the process when it's done gently and correctly

Happy crafting

P.S. Honey is also vegan. it's a rather popular observation with beekeepers that if bees aren't happy with the conditions they're living in, they can and will just up and leave. Again, farming facilities are ideally not where you want to be getting your stuff from, but bees produce more honey than they could ever need. It's fine to collect the honey. There's actually a really cool flow hive invention that shifts the honeycomb panels so the honey can be collected without disturbing the bees and I'm so looking forward to seeing it become a more common practice

P.P.S. if you are looking for a non-animal derived textile, there are PLENTY of plant-based textiles as well. I actually just found a shop that sells mulberry silk yarn and I am so incredibly hyped to be able to get some. Linens, hemp, bamboo, cotton, seriously there are so many types. Plastic textiles are NOT necessary.

Silk Yarn: The Luxurious Fiber with Timeless Appeal and Environmental Benefits

Silk, often referred to as the “queen of fibers,” has been coveted for centuries due to its unparalleled softness, sheen, and strength. This natural protein fiber, produced by silkworms, is not only a symbol of luxury but also a sustainable choice for eco-conscious consumers. Let’s explore the unique properties and benefits of silk yarn, its production process, and why incorporating silk into…

[mischief-tea]

So I got this silk because all the colors looked super pretty in pictures but it has a degumming issue that made it stinky and had to be harshly hand-washed and hung outside in the rain for a couple days to remove the smell.

Was kinda disappointed at first because the colors were a bit faded and muddied by having to treat it roughly. But I now have a plan! I'm thinking I'm going to use this as a crazy warp to complement some of my more irregular hand spins. Maybe make a fluffy poncho or something.

where to get cheap FABRIC these days? assume I already understand the sources and options for items that can be turned into textiles like buying cheap drapes and thrifting, which are good suggestions. also btw if you do not already know, Indian textile importers go crazy on eBay rn. vintage or recycled sari silk (both fake silk and real mulberry silk) and woodblock cotton are both fantastic on eBay. but that's not what I need, rn I'm looking especially for velvet, silk velvet and rayon velvet particularly, in quantities large enough for bedding and drapes.

anyway here's some of the sari/saree that's available from India, I know a lot of my mutuals knit and crochet too, they have tons and tons of silk sari cut into yarn and ribbon too

So Claudia’s skirt and bodice are being made from a blend of two yarns—mulberry silk, and linen. The linen is crisp and matte while the silk has a soft shimmer, which gives it the kind of dimension the taffeta has on the show. Her top isn’t taffeta, but I don’t have enough silk to do the entire top in it.

I used a moss stich because it’s nice and smooth and shows off the yarns better.

Obviously this lacks straps, but those are coming. The addition of trim will also give the illusion of a more period shape.

A question for my fiber craft folks (not that I don't have enough hobbies... Buuut)

My entire area is currently being infested with fall web worms

And I noticed they're very preferentially setting up on all the mulberry trees in the area, like silkworms so now I'm wondering if I go tear down a few dozen handfuls of web worm nests can I card and spin the fiber into a thread?

I think with all the tree debris I'm bound to get there's no way I'll be able to unravel long threads like from a cocoon, but I bet I could card most of the debris out. Got any tips tricks methods for me to test carding and hand spinning this stuff with minimum new purchases? How can I a Jerry rig something together for a trial? Got any spinning for beginners resources?

I'd love to make my own silk thread/yarn to do the stitching/embroidery on a silk barong Tagalog I'm attaching pearl and mother of pearl beads to rn inspired by a creation in my novel SAINTS OF STORM AND SORROW

I plan to go out tomorrow and collect some nests, my partner has reported that they are not sticky. Will report back on my findings

Garland Cowl by Galzanne Knits.

Made this delightful cowl for a friend's birthday using hand-painted pure mulberry silk by Araucanía Yarns (which appears to be a thing they no longer make?? We won't talk about how long I've had this stashed). The big worsted-weight lace was a lot of fun and worked up quickly once I got my gauge issues sorted out. I'd never worked with silk before! I'm a fan. Learned a new cast on for this, and I turned my bamboo knitting needles and fingers VERY blue, but I sort of like when my crafts stain my hands--it's bright evidence that I'm Out Here Making Things, y'know?

Big Fibre arts update

It's been a while since I updated anything. The darkness gets to me and every day adulting is sth I'll never get used to. But here we are.

Caution: fluffiness ahead!

First of all I prettied up my small niddy noddy and my nostepinne with a little gold colour

Nalbinding: My socks take shape

I'm currently washing/staming last month's yarns:

Red/black: 89% supersoft merino/10% silk/10% cashmere. Will probably become a needle lace round shawl.

Small turquoise: merino/viscose spun out of my first carded batt

Orange/blue: 90% really soft merino/10% mulberry silk, took it as a colour management practise and now I know i have much to learn about that.

Thin green: alpaca mix for my dear friend.

Violet: can't find the label but I think it's 70% merino, 20% alpaca and 10% linen. It's so soft and squishy, this will become nalbound fingerless gloves and other wintery stuff

And last but not least: all my stash finally fits inside my jars. And i'm on a good way to decimate it enough that i can buy new stuff in early April!
