Our Journey to Morocco

Two years ago me and my friends traveled to Morocco, Marrakesh. There - in the Souque - we saw a lot of goods made of cactus silk. The colours of the cactus silk threads were vibrant, bright and vivid. So we were overjoyed. I so wanted those amazing silk threads, to make some handcrafts of these. 

My friends also wanted the thread because of some business, in Europe or in America there aren't any of these kinds. So we bought the 100% moroccan cactus silk threads: in 16 colours, in various sizes of spools. Yes, we bought 100 kg!!!

I knitted a royal blue casual pulli but that was a very hard work, I had to use 12 filaments of silk to make one thread to knit. But the pulli is wonderful.

Nevertheless now I know that this silk is for embroidery and tapestry. 

But we cannot sell these silk in commercial ways in the market because the spools aren't standards. 

4 thread makes a "cord" that is spinned up to the spool. It is not supposed to be for machine use, instead for handcraft, patchworking, needlework, handweaving,, knitting, tapestry etc. For machine works it is only applicable in spools!   

So now we have 80 kg of these pure cactus silk threads, and we want to sell these to people who are able to make embroidery or weaving. 

The threads are available to buy in ebay, but we'll sell these in our webshop-site too. 

If you are interested in our goods, please check us out in ebay, or go to our website.

To taste, these are the muster of the 1 kg spools (the Black and the White silk are in 2 kg/spool, too):

And we have some other kind of coloured silk in small spools, these are 10g/spool:

The product sepc: 830 g/10.000 m, strength 207,5 DPF, one 10g spool is about 75 m in length of 4 filaments (total length is 300m), a 1 kg spool is around 7.500 m in length of 4 filaments. The small hank is about 10g in weight.
