SILK FIBERS SILK HANKIES Silk Hankies are a product that only recently came into the mind of embroiderers all over the world. A Hankie is made of one silk-cocoon which is cooked cocoon and carefully opened at one end and then stretched over a frame into a square. Many layers are put together but can easily be separated again. Silk Hankies are suitable for extremely thin paper with an interesting structure made by the thicker edge of the hanky. It can be easily spun by hand to make a knitting yarn or a knubby embroidery thread that looks great with woven stitches. They can be needle-felted by hand or machine which lets the Painters colors come out to look their best. PAINTERS SILK HANKIES The Painters Collection are created by a special form of space dye. Because of the hand-dyed process, no two hanks will ever be the same, but will always blend perfectly because of the subtle color changes. Painters Silk Hankies are perfect for silk paper making, spinning, felting and embellishments. 10 grams/ .35 oz. - $13.95
