fibres and fabrics beautifully coloured by hand
Silk hankies are created from cocoons which have been de-gummed, pierced and stretched layer upon layer over a small 25cm square frame. Each cocoon is as sheer as a cobweb – or use several layers together for a more textural effect in felt. Silk hankies are also used for handspinning or creating silk paper.
Hints: When separating the Silk Hankies an iron will do wonders to flatten and tidy them up. A bit of talc powder on your hands will help prevent snagging or try rubbing your hands with sugar and olive oil to exfoliate and soften the rough spots.
