Pure Silk Habotai, also known as "China Silk," is a timeless fabric prized for its smooth texture, fluid drape, and gentle lustre. This version is woven to a slightly heavier 10mm weight and a width of 114cm, giving it more body than lighter Habotai silks while retaining the soft, breathable qualities that make it a favourite with fibre artists and designers.
Its natural white finish provides an ideal base for a wide range of surface design techniques, including dyeing, painting, printing, and shibori. The extra weight makes this Habotai silk especially well suited to scarves, fashion garments, linings, and textile art where a touch more substance is required.
Available by the metre, as well as in convenient 10m and 20m bulk lengths, this fabric is perfect for both small projects and professional studio use.
(All fabrics are cut in one continuous length when multiple metres are ordered, ensuring seamless yardage for your creative work.)
