In reply to Surekha Srivastava.

Hi Surekha
Any 100% silk is great for embroidery so long as it has some body to it – if it is thin you can place a cotton fabric as backing and embroider. Dupioni silk, shantung silk etc great for embroidery. China silk is a cheaper material.

Hi! Which silk fabric is good for hand-embroidery? How do we do the waste material backing on the hoop so as not to damage the silk material?

Great info thank you very much. I have been in Cambodia for many years and I came across a silk called ” coral silk ” never heard of this before. Has anyone heard of this or has any info, it would be much appreciated.
The local’s in Cambodia call silk “Hol” which I believe is a general term for all silks.
You can find some local weavers work, which includes the golden Cambodian silk ( raw pure yellow colored silk from the cocoon ) at silk-store-psah.(company.site) .
I’m looking for the renowned but rare golden silk, but I’m a little confused as to what this exactly is. Some say it is the pure raw silk that Silk Store offer, with no dye color added. While other say it isn’t this, it’s the raw silk with golden dye added.
If you have any info about “Cambodian Golden silk” I would be very happy to know about it. Thanks in advance.

In reply to Gillian Reader. Hi Gillian Can you read this article on the lining fabrics

By: Gillian Reader

Gillian Reader — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 15:21:26 +0000

Hello, Sarina, I have silk to make a dress but I do not have any lining fabric. I read your articles with interest and noted that you said on 6th November 2018 that you do not use silk as a lining. What should I use, please?

In reply to Maria Niani.

Hi
I would think – For pillowcases Habotai silk or Silk Charmeuse , Dupioni also but isn’t it expensive ? ; hair scarves – Flat crepe silk, Crepe-de-chine, Silk chiffon, Silk charmuese or Silk Habotai.

What is the best silk to use to make pillow cases, hair scarfs, hair bonnet etc? I presume the silk charmeuse or the silk dupioni?

In reply to Maria Elisa Corcino. Hi Maria I would think outdoor flags are made of Nylon because of their water resistence. Not silk. Silk would get soggy in rain and fade fast in sun.

Hi,

In reply to debbie. Hi Debbie I suppose you are asking about the appropriate silk to make Kimonos ? If you want a fabric with a distinct surface texture with crimp you can get what the Japanese use to make Kimonos - Chirimen Silk (crepe silk) or else Habotai Silk is suitable - check out the post on Kimono

Which silk is kimono silk?

By: Sarina

In reply to Lin. Hi Lin Silk scarves are usually made in Silk Habotai, Tussah silk (raw silk), Crepe di Chine, silk chiffon. But if you get a silk-wool blend (60/40) that will give you better warmth than silk alone with the softness and drape of silk

Hello Sarina,
Can you advise on the best type of silk to make a headscarf, for warmth and to protect my hair, and something that drapes well.
Thank you
