Here is the link:http://www.aurorasilk.com/fabrics/silks_shiny/ALLSILKVELVET.htmlHere is the description from the website:All the "silk" velvet I've seen on the market has been RAYON pile inserted into a woven silk back. This allows the popular "burnt out" velvet because acids will burn the cellulose of the rayon, but not appreciably damage the silk. Rayon pile is not the same as silk pile! Visually, it is glassier, and of course does not dye like the silk at all.Silk feels so wonderful, rayon does not. The electricity of silk means that wearing this 100% silk pile side next to the skin has the physiological effect of feeding the body with energy!Machine woven of reeled cultivated silk, very even and standard. Because the weave is so tight, this is a most durable velvet. Dyes beautifully. Drapes incredibly, especially when cut on the bias. VERY LIMITED SUPPLY!It is $60/yard for 1-4 yards, 5+ yards are $50/yard.-Kathymy crafty blog: www.medievalartcraft.blogspot.com _________________________________________________________________ Windows LiveT: Keep your life in sync. http://windowslive.com/explore?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_t1_allup_explore_012009 _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume No virus found in this incoming message.
