A silk cap on a table.

Singles spun on an Electric Eel Wheel 6.0. Fiber was very nep-y.

Plyed yarn on a niddy noddy. You can see the inconsistency as some parts are larger and some are smaller.

Silk yarn wound into a skein and laid on a table.

Finished Sample 80, Silk Caps. I had a tough time with consistency. Singles ranged from 40 to 60 wpi, resulting in 3 ply, light fingering to laceweight, 14 to 20 wpi yarn of about 42 yards to 0.6 ounces.

Stemonitis Splendens made for a really gorgeous and warm gradient. A bit like a cozy fiber hug with tons of depth in the colors. 🥹
