Red Hand  dyed sparse (rarefied) Margilan silk for wet felting. Margelan silk for nuno felting scarves.
Lightweight and elegant, with a natural pearlescent sheen, colorful silk fabric is the perfect textile to incorporate into your next crafting or sewing project. Silk is beautiful and versatile: use to add texture and volume to clothing and costumes; create stand-alone pieces such as scarves and blouses; try nuno-felting – a felting technique that combines silk and wool to create a soft, luxurious material.

This silk comes to you all the way from Margilan – the silk capital of Central Asia. Margilan is an ancient city in Uzbekistan, and for centuries was an important trading hub due to its convenient locations and abundance of sought-after goods, silk being a major one. To this day, Margilan silk is made exclusively by hand with the help of ancient secrets and techniques.
