Silk bricks are extra wide roving that are made after the silk is combed, but before it is made into tops. They are folded tightly and compacted into a little tight rectangle, hence the name.
This extra wide roving allows you to get lots of colour variation throughout the brick and to get good saturation if you are hand dyeing it.
Suitable for spinning into yarn, felting with wool for added lustre, needle felting, embroidery and dyeing.
