Color

Colorado Teeswater meets wild muga silk, making an exquisite yarn. Wild silk moths live in the wild and are collected in the forests of South Asian countries. Muga has a natural dark honey color and when mixed with wool provides a lovely golden luster. It provides a beautiful drape like the traditional Bombyx.

Please note! This is a special run of yarn. Make sure to purchase what you need as it will not be in stock again.

Care: While all fiber has a final washing and is rinsed until the water is clear, some dye may still exist and you may experience some “crocking” - this is when the dye transfers to your hands while knitting. You may also see some bits of leftover raw dye materials in your yarn; this is especially true for yarns dyed with cochineal, sappanwood sawdust, weld plant, and marigold. 

Due to the unscientific nature of how I approach natural dying, you may see some “imperfections” in the yarn. 

To maintain the color of your yarn, keep out of direct sunlight for long periods of time and hand wash with a ph neutral soap in cold water. 

*Please note: this yarn is made in a small artisan mill where much work is done by hand; yarn skeins may vary slightly.

We do our best to represent colors as accurately as possible. Please note that colors may vary slightly depending on your screen or device settings.
