Kibiso Raw Silk (Chunky) | Garments Textile Art
Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
Kibiso Silk is a raw silk with a lovely crisp feel which adds wonderful texture to a garment or to your textile arts or weaving. It is very sculptural!
Slow crafted by a small mill in Japan, the raw silk is spun from waste silk that is normally discarded after reeling a silk cocoon. It takes dye very well due to the high sericin content.
Let your imagination run wild with this one!
- Crisp and chunky - add texture to sculptural garments, textile arts and weavings
