Skein 22

Fine smooth yarn  32-45 wraps per inch
 
Fiber:  silk
Type:  Commercial Indian Muga Sliver
Preparation for Spinning:  Fiber was separated into lengths suitable for spinning.  No other preparation was necessary.
Reason for Choice of this Sample:  Indian Muga has a darker color (which I love) and coarser texture than most other tussah silks available.  It was a nice change of pace.
Type of Spinning:  short forward draw
Equipment Used:  bobbin flyer wheel
Direction of Twist:  Z
Number of Plies:  singles
Weight of Skein: 
Finishing:  Yarn was wound onto a skeiner and steamed to set the twist.  Yarn was partially  dried on the skeiner and hung to finish drying.
Length of yarn: 
Suggested Uses:  Weft for woven fabric--particularly a jacket fabric.  Could also be used for knitting or crochet (which would be my choice).  The darker color of fiber would create interesting color variations if over-dyed.
