I am looking for a light weight material to make a banner.
I have been recommended Silk Noil as a possible fabric.
How sturdy is silk noil
Not very. If you're going to use noil, you might as well use
Dharma Traders.

Habotai is good too - but potentially *any* strong coloured silks will run if
the rain is heavy enough, as they're generally manufactured as dry clean
only, so it's never intended that they'll com into contact with huge amounts of
water.

Failing that, any silk that is weighted at less than your average dupion
would be ok. Probably the best thing to do is to go to a fabric merchant or
shop,
and explain that it needs to be quite lightweight, but not sheer, have a
plain weave, and be very
stitch over them.

How sturdy is silk noil as I have never worked with this material.
What would you recommend? Needs to not look modern.
I have some idea what I am

artwork I did. Luckily the holes are small and I can creatively stitch
over them.

possibly up to half a dozen flags to make for Hastings towards the end of the

about), old fashioned

Dupioni tends to be a bit stiffer than noil. Silk noil is traditionally
used for the flag of Japan.
