TUSSAH SILK FIBERS FOR SOAP MAKING

TUSSAH SILK FIBERS FOR SOAP MAKING

This additive will give your soap more shine, more lather, and a nice "silky" feel. Add a small pinch of silk (enough fibers to loosely fill a teaspoon) to the lye solution while it is very hot, and stir, stir, stir until it dissolves. Once dissolved, continue with your batch of soap as usual.

This silk is cruelty free- the fibers are collected from the cocoons after the silk worms have emerged.

2) TUSSAH SILK SHORT FIBERS.

3) TUSSAH SILK CONTINUOUS FIBERS.

LIFE CYCLE OF SILKWORMS

LIFE CYCLE OF SILKWORMS

The total life-cycle of a Silkworm ranges from 6-8 weeks. Generally, the warmer the weather, the quicker the Silkworm will complete its life-cycle, however, other factors such as humidity and exposure to sunlight are also very important. Ideally, Silkworms will experience 12 hours of sunlight, and 12 hours of darkness per day, a temperature of 23-28 degrees Celsius, as well as humidity levels of 85-90%. Under these conditions, your eggs should hatch in a period of 7-10 days. However, it is very hard to achieve these conditions without an incubator, and it is common practise to just make do with the weather in the area in which you live.

The life cycle of Bombyx mori demonstrates the most advanced form of metamorphosis. The serial progressions of four distinct stages of development complete one generation of the species; 

1) Egg (ova),

2) Larvae, 

3)Pupa and 

4)Imago.
