Silk Gauze 3mm

Similar to Chiffon but an even lighter weight. An extremely sheer and delicate fiber with a very soft hand and floaty drape. Dyes and paints easily with great color retention. Very popular backing for Nuno Felting. Good for felted scarves, layered over heavier fabrics, ethereal set decoration, Halloween effects and more.

Because of its delicate nature, silk gauzes should be handled more carefully. Not recommended for clothing or accessories.
