This beautiful honey coloured soysilk is a natural protein fibre from processing of soybeans, giving a new use for a waste product. Once spun, it is soft, warm, drapes well and is delightful to wear.
If you enjoy spinning silk, then you will also enjoy spinning this new fibre. With a staple length between 7.5 - 10 cm, a fine fibre diameter, and a surface that allows the fibres to slide past each other, drafting this fibre to the thickness you want is easy.
Split the roving into a pencil-like thickness and spin from this. Keep your hands about 10 cm apart due to the fibre length. Draft the fibres into the thickness you want before allowing any twist into the fibres. Ply to produce a balanced yarn.
Skein up your finished yarn. To set the twist, soak in warm water, gently sqeeze out the water by hand or by rolling in a towel, snap the skein between your hands to realign the strands and hang to dry.
Sold in 50 g bags.
