Mulberry silk is a very luxurious fiber. It makes a very strong and lustrous yarn with wonderful drape. Silk is very receptive to dyes and will retain its luster after dyeing. Because of its long length, a yarn can be spun very fine if desired. Weaver Creek Fibers imports the finest silk sliver which originates in China.
