Beautiful Eri Red Silk Cocoons are a wonderful addition to your crafting stash!
There are so many possibilities:
- Soften in warm water and flatten or reshape for another dimension
- Soften and peel back the layers to reveal the translucent silk fibre
- Gently spin the silk to craft your own yarn or embroidery thread
- Use as is to add multi-dimensional texture to your creations.
Create your own unique mixed media art, jewellery, paper, felting, garments, scarves - all showcasing the elegance and colour of Eri silk.
The depth of colour in the silk will change the longer you soak them. The longer they are soaked or simmered in water the lighter and more gold like they become. Experiment and have some fun!
Eri silk has a woolly or fluffy appearance which adds fascinating texture to your textile art.
Eri silk, derived from the Eri silkworm, has a fascinating twist – it naturally produces a beautiful coppery rust hue! This unique colour is a result of the silkworm's diet, making each cocoon a vibrant work of nature's art.
