ABOUT WOOL AND TUSSAH SILK TOP

This merino and tussah silk blend top is commercially prepared, the wool and silk fibres undergoing a mechanical combing process to straighten and align the fibres for a silky smooth preperation.

The extra-fine merino is sourced from both Australia and South America from strictly mulesing-free lots, carefully selected to ensure consistent quality between batches.

Supporting sustainability, DHG ensures the dye process complies with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and the dye house complies with GOTS 5.0 and GRS certifications.

Use this blend for hand-spinning, weaving, needle and wet felting, giant knitting and a myriad of textile art projects.

FINISHING

To block or wash your piece, prepare a bath of tepid water and if desired add a few drops of mild detergent or wool wash. Immerse the piece and soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Lift the piece from the water and allow to drain. Gently remove excess water by pressing the fabric between layers of a dry towel. Lay flat to dry.
