Have a look at the silk yarns sold by Texere, some of these described as tussah silk, there are several pages of assorted silks and silk mixes. Not so many in colour, but it is easy to dye, either as yarn or finished lace. I use their Regency silk for fine-ish lace, and this does come in colours.
This link should take you through http://www.texere.co.uk/cgi-bin/SHPLoader.cgi?yarns.php?category=4 Also just spotted they have a viscose machine embroidery thread at a good price and lots of colours.
