Catalog > Hand Dyed Fibers > Mawata Silk Hankies

Silk hankies are cocoons that have been stretched over a square wooden frame.  About a dozen cocoons are stretched in each hankie.  Peel off one layer, and either start spinning from an edge, or open it up from the center and attenuate into a large loop.  You can even knit with the stretched silk without adding twist!  Some colors here are offered ala carte, and some in bundles.  4 hankies weigh about 1 oz (30 grams).

Cherry Blossom - Mawata Silk Hankies
Originally created for the January 2012 'Luxe' Phat Fiber box, this is a set of two Mawata silk hankies, rolled into a lovely flower.  One hankie is a gradient of soft yellow to a slightly peachy pink.  The second hankie is pink, natural, and leafy green. 

A bouquet of three of these sets (6 hankies) is enough to knit a pair of amazingly light and warm mittens....no spinning required.  See my tutorial.   These are perfect for gifting your favorite fiber fanatic....spinner and knitter alike.  Or treat yourself for a special occasion....real silk flowers! ;)

What you get:
One flower is a set of 2 Mawata Silk Hankies, each hankie has 12-15 layers.
0.4 oz/12 grams total.
Hand dyed with Lanaset dyes for the best light and washfastness.
Hand wash cool, dry flat.

**These will be made to order so that any 'bouquets' will match.  Please allow 7 days prior to shipping.
