I found these fabulous Eri (peace) Silk Cocoon Cakes, from an Etsy shop, and just had to see how they work. I mentioned I am really excited about spinning silk now that I’ve discovered Eri silk, and in this minimally processed form is a real breakthrough for me. They’re even fun to pull apart and fluff up, and so easy to spin too, and I think about how interesting they would be “dyed in the cake” before the cocoon is pulled apart– the color variegations could be beautiful. Watching 6 o’clock whorl’d news now is getting to be a favorite time of my day.
