Price is per bundle - each bundle contains 12 Carrier Rods.
Raw mulberry silk carrier rods are a fascinating material for textile exploration and a beautiful addition for natural history or material reference collections.
Carrier rods are a by-product of the silk spinning industry. Each rod features a lengthwise cut with most having a firm structure.
Carrier rods lend themselves to a wide range of applications, including surface texture in wet felting, sewing and appliqué, spinning, weaving.
When lightly sprinkled with water and pressed flat with an iron, the natural sericin is reactivated, bonding the fibres together to form a delicate silk paper. This fibrous surface provides an ideal base for painting, stitching, and embellishment.
Presented in their raw, natural state, the silk readily accepts dye, allowing for further transformation.
Each rod measures approximately 10–15 cm (4–6 inches) in length. Please note this is a guide only; as a natural, organic material, variations in size and form are to be expected.
