Pure Silk Habotai is a beautifully soft and lightweight silk, woven to an 8mm weight and generous 140cm width. Known as "China Silk," this fabric is smooth, even, and delicately lustrous, making it one of the most versatile silks for both fashion and fibre art.

Its natural white finish provides the perfect blank canvas for dyeing, painting, printing, or shibori, while its supple drape and subtle sheen make it equally suitable for lining garments, creating scarves, or working into larger textile projects. The extra width offers greater flexibility, reducing seams and providing more surface area for creative work.

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

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