Silk Tops are fibers processed by cleaning, carding, and combing.  Short fibers, neps, and noils are removed and all the remaining long fibers are aligned parallel to each other.  Worsted fiber can be spun from tops.  Silk tops can also used by feltmakers to decorate their work with to make a lustrous and colorful final product.
