Margilan Excelsior Silk

Before purchasing please note:

Margilan silk is produced in Uzbekistan in cottage industry settings, and is woven from untwisted threads. Each batch will have a slightly different uniformity.
All quoted weights and measurements are approximate.
A constant width is not maintained along the length it may vary from 87 - 90 cm
This silk has an uneven weave throughout, and there may be parts with snags and weaker spots. This is not a fault, it is a result of how it is produced. Any imperfections will disappear into the surface of the felt.

This is the heaviest of the Margilan Silk collection although still very light- 20g per square metre.

Perfect for painting in batik and botanical print in your felt or textile work.
