I LOVE the richness of the colors in dyed silk!! Enjoy a little of the magic with this treat!
Please note that these are not 'hankies' in the traditional sense, as in squares of silk fabric. The items in this listing are gossamer fine strands of silk intended for use in fibre crafts such as spinning, felting and papermaking. They are superfine layers of silk from a silk cocoon. They can be spun as they are or knitted with as is - search "knitting with mawata" for lots of ideas.
I take great care to make sure that dye is sufficiently exhausted and heat set the fibers so there is minimal to no run-off. However, due to differences in water across the globe, what runs clear for me may bleed a little for you. Please take care to hand wash your finished item in cool water and lay flat to dry. I also make every attempt possible to use a photograph that is as true as possible to the real color. Monitor settings may vary.
