Shimma Silk Fibres

Fibre  Fusion  presents its  beautiful  range of  Shimma Silk Fibres  on  a smorgasboard  of over a dozen delicious  colours. Pictured right is a dyed silk lap in Willow colour.

The Shimma Silk Range includes silk laps, tops, caps, and filament in both undyed and dyed forms. We have attempted to make them as colourfast as possible but there may still be some dye discharge when warm water and soap are applied. 

Shimma Silk Fibres can be used in all sorts of textile pursuits including  spinning, paper making, wet felting, needle felting, doll making  and machine embellishment.

Whilst silk fibres can't felt by themselves due to an absence of scales, felters use felting wool as the 'glue' to felt silk fibres into  a wool fibre base to produce stunning silk/wool felt.  Lay your own base of our Divine Wooltops or use our Felbi Prefelt as a base, lay a fine layer of our Shimma silk fibres on the surface and hand felt it all together.
