Title: Is "Silk" silk?
Post by: Avaiojet on January 30, 2012, 08:01:41 PM: Is "silk" silk?

My wife has a draw full of silk scarves. Is this the same silk I used in the 60's?

Silk is silk, correct?

I'm thinking she won't miss a few. n~

Dennis,

I took a really good look at them, some have lables that say Paris. I guess I'll rethink what's in the draw.

There was a Thread about silk covering. I now have a source at about 4.00 a yard, 5mm.

The sight also had dyes to color silk.

I'll get a few yards there and play it safe. n~
