I bought this to use for nuno felted scarves. It has more luster than the 8mm chiffon I had been using, shrinks less in my dye bath and during felting and is less expensive. I am a convert!

This Habotai dyes beautifully and is the perfect weight for nuno felting. Results are gorgeous - I'll be back for more!

Beautiful drape. It's more sheer than I anticipated, I will probably get a heavier weight next time, but you cant beat the price on this one.

I love painting on this silk, easy to stretch on a frame and paint spreads evenly across the silk.

Diaphanous stuff. Great for scarves! Too lightweight for dresses unless used in multiple layers. Handle carefully, as its delicate.

Thank you so much for carrying the 5mm habotai. I really need that lightweight hand for the nuno felting I am doing.

Love this fabric--so scrumptious as a lining. Susan Khalje recommended silk habotai for lining and I was delighted to find the fabric on your site. I live in an area where there is NO option for fabric up-close and easily touched. Your fabrics are delivered exactly as your site describes.
