Lightweight and soft, this fine silk pongee (also known as Paj) is a 5 momme weight fabric, pre-cut into a handy 70 x 70cm square. Known for its smooth surface and semi-sheer appearance, pongee silk is ideal for dyeing, painting, eco-printing, or use in layered textile techniques.
This 100% silk square is perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike. Its lightweight, absorbent quality allows it to take up dyes and paints evenly, making it especially suitable for silk painting, shibori, or botanical dyeing. The soft drape and subtle sheen also make it a lovely base for scarves, testing samples, embellishment pieces or creative textile applications.
Sold individually and supplied in natural white (undyed), this square is ready for your own colour treatments or use as-is.
