Finally received!
"Now that I have received them, how to I store them while I am waiting to be able to soak them? I can't wait to start working with them!"
Silk Cocoons
"See the review for the Cochineal Bugs. I also use the Silk Cocoons at the Virginia Renaissance Festival to show how they get the silk to spin and weave. This allows children to handle the cocoons along with a silk scarf to show how the Royals can use silk but the Serfs could only make the fabric. The children all go “UGH” when they hear the worm is still inside."
Perfect!
"Amazing little cocoons. Perfectly made by nature : )"
Cocoons for wet felting
"The silk cocoons look great, my order came very quickly, which was important for me since I needed them for a class. I will order again from that company."
As represented
"Yup. Silk cocoons in a little bag. You can hear the dead worm rattle inside. I put them away for later."
