Price per ounce, tussah silk has amazing lister and sheen. The staple length of tussah silk is shorter than that of cultivated silk, but at 4-6 inches long it is still  long for most spinners. Undyed tussah is a light golden color, and like all silks it has an amazing sheen and luster. Blend tussah silk with a fine or medium-fine wool to create a yarn with a wonderful feel and drape.
