They are difficult to import. However, some people use native silkworm species that feed on mulberry to make mulberry silk. I have some mulberry silk and it's quite lovely.

I just plied up today a new yarn I call "Day at the Beach" because it is turquoise-green (water), orange (sun) and buff (sand). The turquoise orange ply is a blend of merino wool and seacell. The buff is a blend of merino and alpaca (from an alpaca named Nevis). I think it came out quite well. It's cold water wash though. 364 yards, roughly.
