They responded and said they dye all their tussah silk tops themselves using OEKO-TEX/GOTS/GRS certified dyes (harmful substance free), but the specific blue color for "dream" is one they created themselves. Let us know if that answers your question or if you need more information. Thanks! **Q: Can this be used in melt and pour soap?** A: No ma'am. Tussah silk is used in cold process soap. The silk is dissolved in the lye solution. Since this step was already done for you at the factory, you'll have no way to be able to dissolve the silk in Melt & Pour soap . **Q: I have a client asking if it is “Ahimsa silk”. Will you ask your supplier? Thanks** A: Hi, thanks for reaching out! This product would not be considered an "ahimsa" silk. Please let us know if you have any other questions! **Q: is this tussah silk cruelty free? I purchased several from your brand and it stated cruelty free on the label but that is not available anymore.** A: Hi Paul, thanks for your question! This style of tussah silk is not cruelty free. Our Cruelty-Free Tussah Silk is out of stock on Amazon right now but we have a shipment on the way to the fulfillment center--it should be in stock in a few weeks. Please let us know if you have any other questions! ## Frequently Bought Together - Shepherd Textiles Tussah Silk Roving (2 oz.) for Spinning, Felting, and Soap-Making (Natural White) - 12 oz (Net Wt) Sodium Lactate for Soap Making & Lotions, Premium Sodium Lactate Liquid, 60% Concentration, Cosmetic Grade, Moisturize Anti-Aging, Makes Soap Harder and Unmold Faster --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/268566690-tussah-silk-roving-2-oz-for-spinning-felting-and-soap](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/268566690-tussah-silk-roving-2-oz-for-spinning-felting-and-soap) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
