Heather Blended Mulberry Silk.
Individual colours of mulberry silk have been combed together to produce this subtle, shimmering beautiful fibre. It will spin like a dream in to a gently variegated heather yarn, more depth of colour than a solid shade, but not so much variegation as to obscure lace patterns. Photos of spun samples (from the fold, high twist, and from the end, low twist) are shown in the additional photographs

Colour Description
Blended blues, greens, and turquoises.
Whether you're a spinner, felter, or mixed media artist you'll love working with this fibre.
These super saturated blues can lead to some dye transfer as you spin. This is not unusual with blue and turquoise dyes. These fibres have been professionally dyed to commercial standards, you may wish to wash a small amount in your chosen detergent to check for any dye bleeding before using your yarn in combination with other colours. I strongly recommend using a pH neutral detergent, and the avoidance of no-rinse wool washes.
