60/2 Bombyx Silk – Old Man's Beard

100% Bombyx Silk Spun in Switzerland - 60/2 - 14,610 yds/lb - Available in 100 gr. skeins with 3280 yds/skein. For optimum drape we sett 60/2 silk it at 40-45 EPI for Plain Weave and 50-60 for Twill. This silk produced a lusciously soft fabric. We recommend that when winding your warp you wind with 2 ends in your hand. This will reduce the number of interlacements going through your lease sticks and make winding on much easier. It is also advisable to wind this silk onto spools or if using a ball winder to put a sleeve on the ball winder. Access the yarn from the outside of the ball rather than the inside.
