Product Description

Some time ago we got interested in silk/wool blends. So we set about the task of sourcing them and found several. After narrowing down the selection to a lightweight and a heavyweight blend, we placed our orders for fabric and scarves. Well, something happened, which I cannot now recall, and we only received the heavyweight fabric and the lightweight scarves. Unfortunately, we had all kinds of problems with the heavyweight fabric, but the lightweight scarves were beautiful!

So finally, here it is: Lovely - the same fabric our silk/wool scarves are cut from . Lightweight and semi-sheer, this fabric is softer than wool, but warmer than silk!

Fabric Details
• 63% silk / 37% wool blend fabric
• 12.5mm, which is about the weight of 12mm Crepe de Chine- 55" wide
• You can dye this with Acid Dyes
• Suggested usage; great for scarves, shawls, shirts..
• Has a diagonal weave
• Available in cut yardage (bulk discounts levels at 10+ yds.) and in 55 yard bolts

Remember, bolts vary! They can be over or under - we charge you for the actual yardage. If you need very specific yardage, order cut yardage.

I think I want Dharma to carry more wool. This fabric is fairly light and airy--not heavy like a wool coat. I want to make warm winter clothes for my toddler from it.

This is a dreamy fabric that loves, loves, loves dye! YOu can use natural dyes or procion and get great deep colors you just don't get with other fabrics! If I was going to marry a fabric this would be the ONE. The scarves in this fabric are also great.

Fabric is very lightweight and not easily adapted to garment sewing. Would make a good shawl or stole

Very impressed with the weight and feel of the fabric. There is a added softness after washing that makes it especially appealing. Will be ordering more in the future for those very specially scarfs. Hope you keep this as a staple in your line ALWAYS as I can not find it anywhere but here.

this is a very nice fabric - ordered it first as scarves and made several dye tests and they dyed great. Best thing is the weight and warmth. Perfect! Ordering yardage now. Love it!

This fabric was not what I expected. It is light weight as I expected but the weave structure is very strange. It looks like a twill and has no drape. Even when washed it remains stiffer than I would like. Ii is not skirt or pants weight and I am having trouble figuring out just what to with this!

I really loved this fabric, but it's always out of stock. If they cant get it anymore, they should remove it from the website.

Oh do I ever love this fabric. Feels as if you paid a fortune and the colors dye beautifully. So SOFT without that 'prickly' feeling that you sometimes get from dry wool.

I should have ordered a swatch first. I don't like it and cannot use it.
