The softness of Merino blended with the sheen of silk and the strength of flax produces a unique fiber blend.
Merino is terrific for any next-to-skin garment. It takes dye beautifully and can be spun anywhere from thick and lofty to extremely fine.
Cultivated from a different strain of moth than bombyx silk, Tussah silk is incredibly fine, but just a little coarser than bombyx, and feels a bit less slippery.
Just like kenaf, jute, nettle, ramie and hemp - flax is a bast fiber. One of the oldest fibers used in Western civilization as the common flax plant was one of the first domesticated crops

Love this Fiber
"I love this fiber even though I have been spinning for over 30 years this fiber really challenges me. It is so soft and lovely. Can hardly wait to finish spinning it all. Thanks so much."
Easy to spin. The flax
"Easy to spin. The flax is not evenly incorporated so you get bits of extra flax which adds interest."
Too many ""twigs"" for me
"This blend had what i considered an excessive amount of ""twigs"" (dried long pieces of vm)"
