It Came!! Camel and Red Eri Silk!

/ LDSVenus

This is so pretty and soft, it will be fun to spin for Tour de Fleece. The red eri silk is a peace silk, it is interesting to learn about reg silk and peace silk and why it’s called peace silk (they are two different types of moths). First I will need to finish the fiber I have on my Polonaise wheel, a BFL-Corriedale cross 64%, Alpaca 27% and Sari Silk waste 9%, You can see it on my RAGBRI spin. It’s really very pretty and it’s been sitting on my wheel being neglected for too long!!!

  1. OK then, enough languishing! Get that RAGBRI spin off that wheel and and get the silk on! I wanna see! I wanna see!!!!

    I really hope you meet the goals you set for yourself and feel satisfied and fulfilled when the spin is finally over ❤

  3. I have spun a lot of baby camel and tussah silk and I love it. Eri silk is better aligned to the fact I haven’t eaten meat for 36 years because the silk worm is allowed to escape not boiled alive like the other silks, but I have never seen it in a blend like this. I just have a little packet of eri silk, sample size really.

    • I bought some Red Eri Silk from Camaji Fiber Arts. She sometimes sells in bulk and I got a good price on I think it was 4 or 8 ozs. She’s in the US so I don’t know what the shipping cost is, but her prices are really decent. You can find her on YouTube as well. This 50/50 fiber I bought was from an Etsy store.
