This is a by-product of the combing process of silk. Silk noils are short fibers with bits of the pupa and used as a decorative additive for many spinning projects, like rovings and yarns. Noils are easy to dye. When blended into wool, they create a textured yarn with flecks of the dyed colors. These can also be used in papermaking and great for adding texture to your Nuno felt.

All my fiber comes from a smoke-free, pet-free environment.

I used to store my fibers with lavender sachets, but I don't anymore as I have learned that moths hate disturbances and some people are allergic to lavender. Now I dust and clean more frequently and move things around but I still include a lavender sachet with each order, unless someone requests me not to. If you don't want the lavender because you are allergic or for some other reason, let me know in the comment section, or send me a message.

I do my best to get pictures from different angles to capture and show the color combination. Remember that your monitor may show colors differently than mine. I'm always open to questions.


The lighting for the photos makes the colors a little brighter than they do in person, so expect the colors one or two shades darker.
