I designed these art batts made of half tussah silk, lots of merino, some mulberry silk, and a little bit of shimmery angelina as well.
These would NOT be good for felting because there isn't enough wool, but they are lovely to spin. I recommend spinning them fairly fine and then plying them if you want a thicker yarn. It's so much fun to spin yarn with bamboo as the bamboo is (can I say this?) silkier than silk in some ways.
Don't these look like a beautiful rose garden filled with red and pink roses? In fact, my inspiration came from the roses in my own backyard.
