Tussah Silk

[dotgiorgio]

Hi! I'm Dot. I've been making soap about a year off and on. I'm planning on staying more on now and learning a lot from this forum as I have been. I've learned more in this last month of reading here than ever before.
I have many questions as I go along and most recently I'm looking at adding Tussah Silk to a recipe. Has any one used Tussah Silk in their soap?

I use mostly silk peptides now (find it easier), but have used "regular" tussah silk as well. Added a little bit to the hot lye water.

I use tussah silk in all my soaps but my vegan. I put about a small cotton ball size thinned out into my water and let it soak for a bit. Then add my lye and stir well. I’ve never not had it dissolve. I love the silkiness it adds to my soaps.
