I regularly get asked to explain the difference between my regular Merino wool tops and my TEC (Superwash) Merino wool so I thought I would try to explain it here.

Both of these amazing wool fibres are grown right here in my home state of Tasmanian and are both from some of the top wool growers in this big country.

The main difference is in the processing of the fibres. Most people are familliar with the general process involved in scouring and processing regular wool but the Superwash or to be more precise, TEC, Total Easy Care process used on superwash wool is handled a little differently.

Firstly, What Are They?

Mulberry silk cocoon sheets or lap waste are made from Mulberry silk cocoons layered on top of each other. 

This 'fabric' can be thick and thin and is very textured and will usually need teasing apart to work with first. 

What can they be used for?

Many of my lovely regular ladies and gents are using these for a number of different projects.
