Our silk laps are produced whilst carding the silk fibres to produce silk tops for spinning into yarn , consequently they have a similar staple length as the tops but with much more texture.

The silk fibres are fed into an industrial drum carder to be carded into silk sliver. At the end of the day the carder is all matted up (a bit like a hairbrush) the lap is then peeled from the drum in a flat sheet. A full lap measures about 4 feet by 8 feet, weighs approximately 1.2 kilos and is so called because it is one lap of the drum carder.

We break the lap down into smaller pieces, but it still comes in the form of a flat sheet, from which fine layers can be peeled.

The silk laps are especially good for felt makers to include with wool whilst wet felting to create added texture and lustre.

The laps are also suitable for spinning into yarn, needefelting, silk paper making (Silk Fusion), mixed media techniques, embroidery and scrapbooking

The photographs are of 100g of undyed laps in a continuous sheet.
