Pure Silk Habotai, also known as "China Silk," is a classic silk fabric prized for its smooth texture, soft drape, and subtle sheen. This version, woven to a 15mm medium weight and a width of 114cm, offers a perfect balance of strength, body, and elegance.

The natural white finish makes it an excellent base for a wide range of creative textile applications, including dyeing, eco-printing, silk painting, and shibori. With its slightly heavier weight compared to lighter Habotai silks, this 15mm fabric has a more substantial feel, making it ideal for scarves, fashion garments, linings, and textile artworks that require durability along with luxury.

Available by the metre, as well as in convenient 10m and 20m bulk lengths, this silk is suitable for both individual fibre artists and professional makers.

(All fabrics are cut in one continuous length when multiple metres are ordered, ensuring seamless yardage for your projects.)
