I’ve been working with Eri silk top and sliver for a few weeks, now, but had never experienced spinning with cocoon cakes. I was actually a little intimidated, so was grateful to find the Eri silk top special with a sample of cocoon cakes. Of all the Eri silk I’ve tried, this, by far is the most beautiful. It has a crispness and structured feel I didn’t expect. And, although it contains both long and short fibers, I found it even easier to spin than the top. It has a rich sheen and an amazing strength. Spin these cocoons is the height of luxury.
