Hand-dyed Bombyx Silk Caps - 'Blue Lagoon'

Price: $8.00 - $20.00
Select option; price is on the top line to the Left

This Limited Edition Colorway has a variety of blues, teals and some greens...the same colors you'd see in a lagoon when twilight begins to shade the colors.

This is the first time we've dyed silk caps.  Think of caps as "silk hankies" but in a different shape that's 3-dimensional. 

Use your favorite spinning technique for hankies when spinning silk caps.

What are Silk Caps?
Caps are made from degummed cocoons that have been stretched into a cap-shape over an arched bamboo slat--or 'upside down U'. 

Ten cocoons are pulled over the frame to make one cap. Enough caps are stacked on top of each other until the pile weighs about 500 gm (1lb).  A 500g pile of Silk Caps is called a "bell". 

Product Details:
100% Bombyx Silk (also known as "cultivated" or "mulberry silk")

Hand-dyed in Colorado.  Color fast.  Wash in cold water.

Silk Caps are a challenge to separate into an exact number of grams.  You can select the weight of the package you want in the drop-down box above.
