100% Semi Bleached Tussah Silk Yarn

As featured in Handwoven Magazine Winter 24 issue, “Cascading Silk Blouse,” by Diane G. Crowder! Tussah silk yarn is a laceweight, fine yarn made from tussah silk, which is a type of wild silk known for its natural, slightly golden color and matte finish. The "20/2" refers to the yarn's thickness and ply: "20" indicates the yarn count (a finer yarn), and "2" means it is a two-ply yarn, giving it more strength and stability. Because this is silk, it will "bloom" once dyed and washed. Great for weaving delicate items like scarves or shawls. Try it for micro crochet, embroidery, or run it with a thicker yarn as an accent color!
