I dyed the cocoons and spun them into thread

Spinning Silk Yarn Original and Economical Way

Bought a whole 1 Lb of these during sale after the 4 oz earlier to try spinning my own silk yarn while learning drop spindle spinning .I came back for for more to the PF after the only lower priced DSC I could find and purchased were delivered to me soiled (which I chose to return). The 1 Lb bag from PF arrived to me glistening, almost pristine white: what a joy to one's eye! I read that spinning silk yarn directly off de-gummed cocoons is the original way to spin 100% silk yarn,- the way humans have been doing ever since. And I actually prefer spinning this way rather than from silk hankies (something I tried first). Being a more economical way is also a plus for me. Thanks to the PF I've got now a stash of quality de-gummed silk cocoons to keep spinning my silk yarn while improving my drop spindle spinning. One day I shall also try spinning my silk on my spinning wheel.
