Georgette (Tissue) Silk Fabric

I am happy to announce that Outback Fibers now has Gorgeous hand-dyed tissue-silk fabrics now available by the yard.   Coordinate these silk fabrics with their matching 18.5 micron superfine merino wool, and tussah silk roving; or chose complimentary colors from our full line of Treetops wools and silks.
Lightweight, 4.5 momme open-weave tissue silk (comparable to the US “georgette” silk),  is the perfect fabric for beginning nuno felters and those wanting a gauzy, soft finish. 
 Choose our dyed “paj” (habotai) silk fabrics for a tighter weave with more luster and a more substantial pucker. 
Perfect for your very own unique, one-of-a-kind piece of nuno felt sure to attract attention and interest. Have fun and let us know what you think.
 Here is an example of one of my scarves using some habotai silk fabric.  The color is Machu Picchu.
