TussaSingle{f} is a 100% tussah silk single ply fingering weight yarn.

Tussah is ‘wild’ silk with a grabby hand and a natural honey colored tone when it’s undyed. It’s gorgeous to work with, has a lovely halo, a subtle sheen, and great stitch definition. Use this yarn for shawls, scarves, shrugs, and luxurious garments.

Hand washing is recommended. The dyes I use are low-impact Procion MX fiber reactive dyes, the same that I use for all dyedianadye garments and accessories. I use a cold water process, randomly distributing color, often in multiple baths to produce a glazed and layered effect. The result is no regular striping or predictable pooling. In addition, both the silk and linen fibers take up the color. You will not have white linen strings or haze in this yarn.

All skeins within a lot or between lots will vary from one other. If your garment requires more than a single skein, consider alternating between skeins.

Base yarn is milled in Switzerland and dyed by me in my Atlanta studio.

Caking your skein is a DtO option.
