It contains none of the artificial dyes, sulfide bleaches, or other additives that are common in commercial silk. The fibers are harvested from the cocoons of the tussah silk moth anthaerea pernyi and professionally carded and combed in the UK to make a beautiful, soft sliver. Luxurious, Silky Soap Tussah silk adds a wonderfully slippery, silky feel to hand made soap. Our UK-milled silk is specially selected for the needs of home soap makers, and a pinch (1/2 gram) will dissolve easily in the lye solution. A two-ounce package contains enough silk to make more than 100 five-pound loaves of soap. Spin Vibrant Yarn Tussah silk is stronger and more durable than other varieties of silk, and it can be spun into lustrous yarn that is tough enough for weaving or knitting wearable garments. Tussah silk yarn will also take dye beautifully, and is the perfect canvas for experimenting with your favorite acid dyes or natural dye extracts. Start With a Pinch Start by removing a pinch of silk from the combed sliver. For a five-pound loaf of cold process soap use 1/2 a gram of tussah silk--about as much fiber as a loose cotton ball (see photo). Cut Into Pieces Cutting the long silk strands into smaller pieces will help them dissolve more easily. Using scissors, cut the fibers into lengths of about an inch. Add Water and Soak Scatter the cut up silk into the container you will use to make lye solution. Pour the distilled water over the silk and let it soak for 5 minutes; this will also help the silk dissolve more easily. Add Lye and Dissolve Add lye as called for in your soap recipe. The silk threads will begin to break down into silk proteins as the solution heats up. Stir well with a silicone spatula until fully dissolved, about 1 minute. Review: Tussah Silk - Very nice, I look forward to using it next time I make Cold-Process soap. I lends a silky finish to handmade soap. It’s not for Melt and Pour soap. Review: Great for CP soap - I use this test I silk in the lye water that I mix up for my cold process soap. It makes it have an excellent texture and silkiness to it I would highly recommend it to others and we'll buy it again. ## Features - Two ounces of pure, all-natural tussah silk. - Adds a luxurious silken feel to cold process soap. - Use a 1/2 gram pinch per five-pound loaf of soap--one package is enough for more than 100 loaves. - Beautiful bright white silk fibers. - Carded and combed in the U.K. into a soft silk sliver. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08RRFLY93 | | Additional Features | Premium quality materials, Uncommon material color | | Art Craft Kit Type | Soap Making | | Best Sellers Rank | #73,827 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #41 in Wool Roving | | Brand | Shepherd Textiles | | Brand Name | Shepherd Textiles | | Color | Natural White | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 206 Reviews | | Included Components | Tussah silk roving (2 ounces) | | Item Weight | 2 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Shepherd Textiles | | Manufacturer Part Number | ST-TUSI-2OZ | | Material | Silk | | Material Type | Silk | | Model Number | ST-TUSI-2OZ | | Product Style | Traditional | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Subject Character | Insect | | Theme | Insect | | Unit Count | 2.0 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Art Craft Kit Type:** Soap Making - **Brand:** Shepherd Textiles - **Color:** Natural White - **Item Weight:** 2 Ounces - **Material:** Silk ## Images ![Tussah Silk Roving (2 oz.) for Spinning, Felting, and Soap-Making (Natural White) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LN66k3HsL.jpg) ![Tussah Silk Roving (2 oz.) for Spinning, Felting, and Soap-Making (Natural White) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WlSakJE0L.jpg) ![Tussah Silk Roving (2 oz.) for Spinning, Felting, and Soap-Making (Natural White) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91RoupYKPcL.jpg) ![Tussah Silk Roving (2 oz.) for Spinning, Felting, and Soap-Making (Natural White) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812n9ozhfYL.jpg) ![Tussah Silk Roving (2 oz.) for Spinning, Felting, and Soap-Making (Natural White) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UCdHCSRzL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Seller: what is the dye used to color the blue silk?** A: Hi John, we forwarded your question to our supplier in Italy. They responded and said they dye all their tussah silk tops themselves using OEKO-TEX/GOTS/GRS certified dyes (harmful substance free), but the specific blue color for "dream" is one they created themselves. Let us know if that answers your question or if you need more information. Thanks! **Q: Can this be used in melt and pour soap?** A: No ma'am. Tussah silk is used in cold process soap. The silk is dissolved in the lye solution. Since this step was already done for you at the factory, you'll have no way to be able to dissolve the silk in Melt & Pour soap . **Q: I have a client asking if it is “Ahimsa silk”. Will you ask your supplier? Thanks** A: Hi, thanks for reaching out! This product would not be considered an "ahimsa" silk. Please let us know if you have any other questions! **Q: is this tussah silk cruelty free? I purchased several from your brand and it stated cruelty free on the label but that is not available anymore.** A: Hi Paul, thanks for your question! This style of tussah silk is not cruelty free. Our Cruelty-Free Tussah Silk is out of stock on Amazon right now but we have a shipment on the way to the fulfillment center--it should be in stock in a few weeks. Please let us know if you have any other questions! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tussah Silk *by M***L on April 11, 2025* Very nice, I look forward to using it next time I make Cold-Process soap. I lends a silky finish to handmade soap. It’s not for Melt and Pour soap. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for CP soap *by M***N on October 20, 2024* I use this test I silk in the lye water that I mix up for my cold process soap. It makes it have an excellent texture and silkiness to it I would highly recommend it to others and we'll buy it again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect!! *by K***M on March 13, 2023* I bought this Tussah silk to add to my CP goat milk and tallow soaps and I absolutely love it! Not only do my bars have a shinier look, the lather and feel is amazing. This new additive has taken my soap to a whole new level and made them more luxurious. My dandelion soap (pictured) has only been curing for 2 weeks but I couldn't wait to test an end piece. Impressive!! 2oz is a lot more than what I was expecting to get and will go a long way. I'm supporting a veteran by purchasing and I will definitely be buying more from this new supplier. Thank you, sir, for your bravery and for your service to our country.
