Silk Tussah Neps Nm 3/1 | Swiss Mountain Silk
You want your handwovens to feel expressive and one-of-a-kind—but flat, uniform yarns don’t always capture your creative spark. This richly textured 100% Tussah silk nep yarn adds dimension and character to every project, giving your work that raw, organic beauty you’ve been craving.
There are times when smooth and perfect just isn’t what you’re after. You might be working on a piece that needs a bit more story—something with texture, energy, and a little wildness. But finding a yarn that delivers that natural variation without becoming tricky or unpredictable on the loom can be a challenge.
That’s what makes this Tussah silk nep yarn such a joy. Each strand is full of subtle irregularities—tiny neps and slubs that create unexpected movement and texture in your cloth. It’s not loud, but it’s deeply expressive. The kind of fibre that adds personality without overpowering the rest of your palette. And because it's pure Tussah silk, it still has that gentle sheen and softness you love.
Finished pieces take on a beautifully tactile quality—each one slightly different, completely your own. Whether used as a feature weft or throughout a design, it adds richness and warmth that brings your weaving to life. Choosing this yarn means leaning into creativity with confidence—and trusting your instincts to create something bold and honest.
