Sample #18 Fiber: Silk Weight of Skein: 33.5 grams |
Appl: #1600203 |

Spinning Equipment Used:
Flyer Wheel, Scotch Brake, Ratio 24:1| |
|||
Preparation for Spinning: The sliver was dyed then blended with the noil on cotton carders. the fiber was made into small batts and pulled into a thin roving. Reason for Choice of this Sample: Noil is the best choice to achieve a textured yarn, but is relatively weak. Blending the noil with Bombyx Mori adds strength and luster yet allows texture. |

One comment I did get from the judges was that the skeins should be closer in weight to the requirement. None of mine were less than the requirements but many were over in weight. |
