SOY SILK
Soy Silk is made of left-overs from the tofu manufacturing process. It is soft, lustrous, a pleasure to spin, and (once spun) knit or weave. It truly resembles Silk in appearance and handling.
Dye it as you would Tussah Silk, with acid or natural dyes. And since it is a cellulosic fiber, Procion Dyes should work well too. Colors wick into the fiber quickly, and are bright and strong.
Spin Soy Silk alone or with wool. Blending 75% Soy Silk with 25% fine wool adds memory and bounce while maintaining the softness and luster of Soy Silk.
Use it unspun to make paper or beautiful felted fabric.

BAMBOO FIBER is made from the bamboo plant, a grass farmed commercially throughout Asia. Bamboo can grow very tall and a stand of bamboo plants can thrive for as much as100 years. Bamboo is an annually renewable resource.
This fiber is cool to the skin, comfortable to wear, and has beautiful drape and softness.It has the same moisture absorption as cotton but better moisture transmission, making it both more comfortable and more sanitary.

The manufacturing process uses new, cutting edge bioengineering technologies. First the bamboo fibers are softened into a "batter". Then the fiber is produced by wet-spinning and stabilized by acetylating, and is then cut into short staples after curling and thermoforming.
