n-49 silk cocoons pina

n-49 silk cocoons pinaAre you a spinner? Why not try reeling? I personally love reeling. It is magical. You boil water, throw those cocoons into them, scratch the surface of the cocoons for a while and volla! A singel fine thread begins to come out. It is YARN! I think it is just exciting. Would you like to explore other types of cocoons? Please take a look here. Please note that the colors you see on the screen may not be accurate as each monitor displays differently.
