This is four ounces of hand painted Polwarth/Silk - 60/40 The higher quantity of Tussah silk adds additional shine & luxury to the yarns. History: The Polwarth sheep was developed in Australia by breeding Merino rams to Lincoln/Merino ewes so the foundation stock is 75% Merino/25% Lincoln. Micron count between 22-25. Definitely next to skin softness. Noted for its elasticity & durability. It is considered a delicate fiber with bounce & drape. I do my best to take & post accurate pictures but please keep in mind that colors vary slightly from monitor to monitor. Care instructions: After fiber is spun into yarn it can be hand washed in cool water with a mild soap. Do NOT agitate as it will felt. Roll in a towel & then lay flat to dry. 39/40 Polwarth & Silk Roving - 60/40 4 Oz Spinning Fiber Top
