Material: 100% Silk

5 piece 100% Silk Hankies.

Squares are 10"x 10".

These are the best silk hankies I have seen, very high quality!

A hanky is created by piercing a hole in the Bombyx Silkworm's cocoon, opening it from the hole and then stretching it out over a frame.

This creates a square shaped ‘cobweb’ of fiber with a denser frilly edge of fibers.

The squares can be easily pulled or teased out from the centre to create a roving ready for spinning.

They can also be used to add interest in silk papermaking, embroidery and felting.
