Product Description
This fabric is also known as Silk Noil. It's a nubby fabric in a natural off-white color. The fabric has random tan flecks throughout the weave. It has a somewhat rough texture but it has a soft gentle drape. Silk Noil dyes well but is not well suited for gutta techniques since it's quite heavy and gutta usually does not penetrate heavier textured fabrics well. You could option to apply gutta to both sides of the fabric for silk painting projects.
Great for making modern garments, historical reenactment costumes, Star Wars Tatooine resident's clothing and home decor. Check house rules at Tatooine Cantina for appropriate galactic usage. Not recommended for Star Destroyer officers clothing or Grand Moff uniforms. May the force be with you. 

Also available in BLACK

This stuff is a dream! Soft, breathable, dyes up beautifully -- plus, if it wrinkles, all you have to do is hang it in the bathroom while you shower and the wrinkles steam right out. I've used it for Ren Faire and other costuming projects, and it holds up quite well. The fabric does shed a little when washed the first few times, however, as bits of the nubby surface come off.

This stuff is wonderful for apparel-- breathable, cool in the heat, warm in the cold-- but wash it a few times before using and hang it outside because it STINKS initially!! Raw silk has a lot of seracin in it, and apparently, that smells like fish! I made the mistake of hanging it in my laundry room after washing and the whole house smells like fish. LOL, well, dye smells too so it's not like I was worried. Just be aware!

I thought the quality of the noil was not as good as that (I get from Thai Silks, but the newbies in the class liked it. For all I know it could be from the same wholesales origins.

For me, raw silk (silk noil) is not easy to find locally; luckily I have Dharma... you are the one place I can totally rely on to have exactly what I need and want and at an affordable price. Your service is always prompt and the material is exactly what I expect. One cannot ask for more. I will continue to purchase all my raw silk through you. Love the material and your service!
