Somewhat similar to a Crepe Back Silk Satin, this beautiful fabric has a shiny side and a matte side. A Lustrous silky hand, weight similar to a 19mm silk, but with more than half cotton content. This one should be a fun one to dye because of the fiber blend. Experiment with dyeing it with Procion colors with blue content, like greens, purples, browns, etc. as the cotton and silk will be different colors, which can give it some real character. Alter Ego dye could do some really interesting colors on this fabric as well!
