Silk hankies (these are NOT handkerchiefs) are silk fibers which have been hand-worked to obtain very thin layers. It’s created by piercing a hole in a silkworm’s cocoon, pulling it from the hole and then stretching the cocoon over a frame. This creates a square shaped web of delicate but strong squares of tissue-thin gorgeously soft silk fibers. A final product is made up of multiple squares of cocoons stacked together into a pile.
These silk hankies are easy to dye, using acid or protein dyes, perfect for wide range of crafting projects ? nuno and wet felting, silk paper making, hand-painting, can be spun on spindle or wheel, pulled into a thread and knitted up as is ? possibilities are endless.
No chemicals added.
