Spinning Straw into Gold, LLC, Sophisticated fibers to support creative spinning.

Following a great deal of thought, spinning pet hair and other general hand spinning will NO longer be offered as a service by Spinning Straw into Gold, LLC. All current clients and those who have been in prior contact will be honored. Injuries from cumulative hand stress has occurred and to recover and maintain long term health commercial hand spinning must be reduced. A huge THANK YOU to all my clients from over the years. The fiber aspect of Spinning Straw into Gold, LLC will continue through the internet, shows, teaching, etc....The website will be updated in the next 2 months to reflect the focus changes.

Fiber Notes

July 23, 2012 Ending pet fiber spinning aspect of work

silk mark emblem Unfortunately, some textiles sold as muga, eri, tassar (tusar, tussar) silks are actually counterfeit. In an effort to combat this Silk Mark is a certification mark in India for silk textiles. The mark certifies that the piece of textile which bears the mark is made of pure natural silk. Consumers and the genuine traders of silk had been demanding a measure from Central Silk Board in bringing in a fair practice in the Trade. Silk Mark was launched on 17th June 2004 as a response to the demand.

Spinning Straw into Gold, LLC purchases Muga Silk Sliver/Top, Eri Silk Sliver/Top, and Tassar (Tusar, Tussar) Silk Sliver/Top from a member of the Silk Mark Organization of India (SMOI), a registered society under Karnataka Society Act 1960. SMOI is an initiative of Central Silk Board, Ministry of Textiles and Government of India.
