Some things are so good they just have to be shared.

The dyed silks on this page are a case in point. The fibre is high-quality, smooth-drafting tussah silk top, dyed here in my dyepot and packaged with admiration and love. By indoor light this silk has a soft sheen; in sunlight, a pronounced sparkle.

The fibre is packed in a duo of colours, as shown below (click on the small photos for a clearer view). The colours undulate softly, glowing here and there with gentle contrasts. Each silk packet weighs about 40 grams (20 grams of each colour) -- which will spin into enough yarn for a knitted scarf.

If you like these duos of silk, but find yourself yearning for more, scroll to the lower part of this page and read about the silk spinning kits: silk, plus spindle, plus instructions. Delicious!

Because your monitor is probably not just like mine, the beauty of some of these colours may or may not show on your screen.

Silk spinning kits

Because sometimes the fibre just isn't enough, and because it's nice to have a spindle that really is a perfect weight for spinning silk, and because I genuinely do love getting silk into people's hands -- here's a friendly kit to help you get started with silk.

The silk spinning kit (front and back views shown) contains everything you need to get spinning: 40 grams of tussah silk top, a smooth-finished 30-gram spindle, and an 8-page pictorial workshop -- all packed in a handy zip-top pouch.

Silk colours. We all see colour differently. The kit shown here contains a duo of royal blue and chartreuse -- but if those aren't your colours, never fear! These kits are available in all the colour duos shown above. Simply state which one you want in the "comments" section when you place your order.
