About 10 years ago I was given the gift of a large number of vintage silk kimonos and bolts of silk from a Japanese friend. That was the start of my journey of exploration into incorporating texture into my quilts. What I learned was that Japanese silk is an extremely robust fabric which washes well. It brings to textile projects a lustre and a unique feel that adds complexity and interest to any project. You will love to work with it.

Sold by the half-yard, these silks are ones I haven't yet used in my own projects.

This particular bolt of rose coloured silk has an overall slight texture... it is amazingly lovely. It is hard to believe that we are using rescued silk when you see this piece. It is mid-weight and supple. The colours of the photo are true to the actual silk. This one is in excellent condition.
