This is a stack of hand dyed Mawata silk hankies, comprised of cobweb thin silk squares grouped together. You peel them apart and use for spinning, felting or even knitting (without spinning). Who knew a little handkerchief of sorts could be so much fun?

I love the saturated red in this stack of hand dyed silk hankies. The yellow is super bright, contrasting wonderfully with the more subtle pink, which then leads to a deep burgundy red. These colours play so well together!
There’s a total of 10.2g of silk hankies for you to play with. I’ve kept each stack small to make it more affordable and easier to sample if you’ve not yet tried this little silky wonder.
Silk hankies are degummed silk worm’s cocoons that have been stretched into a square shape. They consist of multiple, very thin layers, each harvested from a single cocoon.
Mawata is their original Japanese name, and it means “to spread around.” They are also known as mulberry silk hankies.
Silk takes up colour like nothing else, so the saturation will work great to bring your spinning or wet felting projects to the next level. Silk hankies are quite shiny so they definitely won’t go unnoticed.
Please note that the last picture shows a stack of several colourways of silk hankies. This listing is only for one of them.
