DESCRIPTION Natural raw silk is a uniquely beautiful fabric that has a luxurious textured quality and richness that cannot be reproduced in other materials. Not surprisingly, it is one of the most popular fabrics in the world as it has a fabulous natural sheen and distinctive weave that makes it much sought after in both period and contemporary homes for soft furnishings and bedding. This stunning fabric is made using raw silk yarns that are turned into a fine thread which is tightly woven together to produce a soft fabric with a more matt, slightly earthy feel than silk dupion. It has a prominent textured slub that is irregular in appearance. As a natural fibre, there may be variations in shade or weave which are characteristics of pure silk. As a raw fabric, fading and deterioration may occur over time, especially in sunlight, so we do not recommend silk dupion for curtains and blinds or for lampshades placed in or near a window. Please take a look at our lovely collection of faux silks which we have sourced for customers wanting the look and feel of pure silk in a more robust fabric. We recommend that all silk curtains and blinds are lined and interlined to protect the face fabric but even then, fading and may occur over time especially in darker colours. Colour variations: Colour variations can occur between different batches of fabric. If you are using this fabric more than once in the same room, we recommend ordering the whole amount needed in one go to ensure that it comes from the same batch (this includes matching to any shades previously purchased from us). If this is not possible, please ask for a stock cutting from the current batch and check the fabric on receipt as, once cut to length, our fabrics are non-returnable unless faulty.
