| Tussah Silk |
| Doll Hair |
| Tussah silk is a natural fiber gathered from wild silk worms. It naturally has a beige / tan color from the tannins in the oak leaves that the caterpillars eat. This Tussah Silk has been pre-bleached to a white shade to make custom dying easier. Tussah takes dye beautifully. It's loved by both spinners and needle felters for its softness and luster and its a wonderful option for doll hair. I've used Tussah on several dolls and love the look and feel. |

| Tussah dyed with Jacquard Acid Dye - Turquoise. It took less than 60 seconds to achieve this color using a pinch of dye powder in water. Like any silk, Tussah wants to be slightly acidic, so it should be rinsed in a mild solution of vinegar to neutralize any alkaline chemicals used in dyeing. I also used a bit of high quality hair conditioner. Always follow with a pure water rinse. |
| Tussah Silk is mostly a straight fiber, fine, soft and shiny. It can be curled and styled in many different ways. It will come in a poly bag as pictured below in the Viscose section. Each bag will contain a 9 inch length of silk. 2.75 per 9 inch length |
| Black Pale Blonde Auburn Light Brown |
| Viscose Doll Hair |
| Tip: When dying any of the fibers, rubberband one end of the fibers together tightly. This will keep it in one bundle and provide something for you to hold on to. If you leave your fibers loose in the dye bath, you will end up with a clump of fibers. |
| Perfect for fairies, mermaids or miniatures. Viscose is a man-made fiber made from Bamboo wood. It has a nice shine and softness. It can be curled, braided, or pleated to form loose waves. All of my Viscose Doll hair and Silk fibers come in a 3 x 5 inch baggie. You get a generous amount of fiber, enough for several dolls. Actual fibers range in length from 3- 4 inches and a hank is a portion of the roving itself. Hanks are approximately 9 inches in length. |

| Honey Blonde Ash Blonde Flaxen Blonde Warm White |
| Add dimension and drama to a hair style, just add some highlights using any lighter or darker shade of fiber. Creating a frosted effect is easy and blending colors can give a more natural look to the hair. Mixing Angelina Fibers with darker hair colors will add flash and sparkle. |

| You can create your own custom colors using Jacquard Acid dyes. The acid refers to using vinegar to set the color. |
| Some bags might have a bit more white since I sold only white before getting colors. These are also limited in number, but will be updated as I cut off more ends. Each bag has a minimum weight of 2 ounces. I know, doesn't sound like a lot, but that bag is 9 x 12 and you can see how much is in there. Enough to do a lot of dolls. It's the equivalent of three 5x5 pieces. Click image to see front and back 14.95 per bag |

| NEW! Tibetan Succotash! Each Tibetan plate has some rough edges...it can't be avoided. I only use sections with the edge if the fur on the edge is a consistent length to the inner part of the piece. If the fur isn't as long or the edge is ragged or has too many seams, I cut it off and it becomes a scrap. The fur is perfectly ok, but these pieces can be 1 inch to 3 inches wide by 5 inches in length. The Tibetan Succotash will have at least 4 - 5 colors and the fur will range between 2 - 3 inches in length. |
