Experience the unique charm and ethical appeal of Tussah Tweed by BC Garn. Made from 100% tussah silk, this yarn features fine tweed flecks and offers an impressive marled surface that enhances stitch definition with a beautiful, muted effect. Derived from the cocoons of wild butterflies that have departed naturally, Tussah Tweed is celebrated as a cruelty-free silk. Initially robust, this yarn softens remarkably with each wash and wear, making it a versatile choice for knitting, weaving, and embroidery. Perfect for crafting lightweight summer sweaters, elegant shawls, and more, Tussah Tweed boasts a rich golden hue and excellent drape that elevates any project.
Note: The deep shades of Tussah Tweed require substantial dye quantities, which may lead to slight color bleeding in initial washes. To minimize this, we recommend rinsing the yarn in cold water with a small amount of vinegar before you first wear or wash your finished project. This helps set the color and reduces bleeding or color transfer.
