Optic White Silk Habotai 8mm 45"

When they say "China Silk" this is what they mean. Light weight and semi-sheer with a lovely moderate sheen. It also happens to be very economical so it is great for students and class projects. Everyone likes this stuff; you will too. The 8mm is the one most often seen, and of which our Habotai scarves are made. We also carry natural white in heavier weights (10mm-16mm) for when you need more substance, and a lighter more sheer weight (5mm).

Please note: color number 50 Natural White  is the original white silk we have always been selling. The NEW "Optic White" color is the whitest of whites, whitened with optic whitener for the glowing brides out there, and yes, as an added bonus, it does glow under black-light too!
