> 3 dayIf youre on the fence about adding silk fibers to soaps, dont be. Jump in and make this purchase! Though it doesnt look like a large amount of product, you will find that it lasts a long time. I wish I had purchased this ages ago! Ill admit, I just wasnt quite sold on the idea of adding silk fibers to my soaps. I purchased this on a whim and then felt obligated to use it. Now Im kicking myself for waiting so long! Im very happy with this product and will purchase again.

> 3 daySomething is up with this silk. It doesn’t dissolve nearly as well as other soap suppliers and the strands are really long leaving me to wonder if they killed the silk worms to get them.

> 3 dayIve attempted to use this in a few cold process soap projects and I havent had a good experience yet. After adding it to the lye at the hottest temp and stirring for what seemed like forever, it still didnt dissolve, Even when I tried using smaller amount like .001oz. It just seems like very fine string in a way.

04-06-2025The delivery was super fast which was unexpected. I have used the silk for making my moisturizer and was greatly pleased with its luxurious feel and the it is so creamy. However, the silk doesnt seem to be able to dissolve and I have to resort to seiving it. I have also used the silk for my soaps but I cant comment on them as they are still not cured. All in all, I am very pleased with the product as it is so hard to source in my country.

Silk: from humble cocoon to one of the world"s most coveted fibers
The tradition of silk worm cultivation reaches back to ancient times when the fibers produced were reserved for only the highest tiers of society. Now, you don"t have to be royalty to enjoy crafting fabric, yarn and beauty products with silk.

|---|---|---|---|
Mulberry SilkMulberry silk is made by cultivated Bombyx Mori moths that eat only mulberry leaves—essentially a superfood for silkworms! The result is a superior quality silk that lends beautiful drape to homespun yarns. |
Muga SilkMuga is the strongest of the silks, and among the most durable of all natural fibers. This precious golden fiber is only produced in the Assam region of India and was once reserved for royalty. When handled with care, garments made from this silk will last a lifetime. |
Eri "Peace" SilkEri is also called Peace silk because it is cruelty-free, harvested after the silk caterpillar emerges from its cocoon as a moth, allowing it to live a full life cycle. The rich golden and copper tones you can find are completely natural and come from the conditions in which the silk worms are cultivated. |
Tussah SilkTussah silk, also known as Wild silk, isn"t strictly cultivated so the caterpillars can receive varying diets resulting in different hues and textures. It has a slightly shorter staple length than other silks but plenty of loft for spinning. It is also the economical go-to choice for soap making. |

Soap MakingCreate the most luxurious bars by dissolving small amounts of silk in your lye water; also makes your bars harder and longer lasting. It works equally well for cold process soaps and DIY moisturizers. |
Hand DyeingExperiment with dyeing the different natural silk colors to achieve sparkling bright hues with golden undertones. Eye-catching dyed silk can be used for embellishments to any fiber project or spun into glossy yarn. |
Blending and SpinningAdd luster and drape to hand-spun yarn by blending silk with your fiber before spinning. Or blend to create delicate felted fabric with extra softness and shine. |
