Hand Dyed Margelan Silk Gauze for Wet Felting.
Fabric for Nuno Felting.
Attention!!!
Margilan Gauze Not Rarefied Silk
Silk gauze creates very beautiful textures in wet felting. Since this silk is slightly denser than sparse margellan, it looks good on frilled and ruffled stoles.
Lightweight and elegant, with a natural pearlescent sheen, colorful silk fabric is the perfect textile to incorporate into your next crafting or sewing project. Silk is beautiful and versatile: use to add texture and volume to clothing and costumes; create stand-alone pieces such as scarves and blouses; try nuno-felting – a felting technique that combines silk and wool to create a soft, luxurious material.
This silk comes to you all the way from Margilan – the silk capital of Central Asia. Margilan is an ancient city in Uzbekistan, and for centuries was an important trading hub due to its convenient locations and abundance of sought-after goods, silk being a major one. To this day, Margilan silk is made exclusively by hand with the help of ancient secrets and techniques.
