source for raw silk on cones

Oct 20, 2005 2 Replies

I used to be able to get wild silk wound on 2-lb cones when Bill Klein ran School Products up in NY. Does anyone know where I can find this put-up? I love to work with that fibre and the only put-ups I can find around the 'net is in skeins. thanks


Some sources that come to mind, but you'll need to do your own legwork to see what they're selling:

lookchina.com (I buy cashmere spinning fiber from these guys, I know they sell silk but I have no idea what put-up they sell it in)

Henry's Attic A distributor, IIRC, so you'll need to find a retailer

aurorasilk.com A friend of mine bought a few cones of 2/14s or 2/24s silk here last year. YMMV

treenwaysilks.com Used to sell coned silk weaving yarn, again YMMV

This should get you started.
