Muga Silk Yarn (2/30)

from $12.99

Shepherd Textiles Muga Silk Yarn (2/30) is made of 100% hand-harvested wild muga silk. This lace weight yarn is soft, strong, and has a fantastic luster that will add a golden shine to any woven project.

Muga silk moths (antherea assamensis) are endemic to Assam in eastern India, where they grow wild and are also cultivated in protected groves of som trees. The cocoons are gathered after the adult moths have already chewed out and flown away, making this silk a cruelty-free ahimsa or “peace” silk. Most of the raw silk is carded and spun by hand, but this yarn was sent to a mill in Odisha for spinning into a consistent 2/30 weaving weight. We recommend a tabby sett of 30-36 ends per inch (EPI) depending on the desired feel of the finished cloth.

Sold as a 10-gram sample wound onto a styrene bobbin; 100 grams wound onto a sectional warping spool; or a full sectional spool containing 200 grams of yarn. Product of India. Approximately 15,000 meters per kilogram.
