New today! Silk thrums are fringy remnants left over from the sari making process. They often have a selvedge of sari fabric at the edge and the remaining warp threads of filament silk in the center, and are twisted into a skein for easy handling. Use them in felting, fusing, doll making… have fun! Thrums come in a bag of assorted sizes and colors, each bag is about 3.5 ounces.

Our new Uncarded Recycled Silk Yarn is also made from Sari remnants and fiber. It is a substantial yarn, thick and firm and very colorful with bits of metallics peppered in the mix. It comes in skeins of 100 grams (approximately 30 yards).

Our Cut Sari Strips Bags are back in stock! They are bags of approximately 4.5 ounces of silk sari fabric strips. Similar to our Sari Ribbon Pieces Bags, but with chunkier pieces of sari silk (hope you’re not too confused). They are very popular and very versatile!

We also have Hand-spun Hemp Yarn, for using in mixed media projects, altered book closures, crochet, knitting, macrame. It’s firm texture makes fabulous knots, and will soften with repeated washings (makes great wash cloths). It comes in a 100 gram ball (approximately 205 yards).

New today is Sari Ribbon in solid colors. This is just a few of the colors available (right now we have 13 colors). The ribbon ranges from 1/2″ to  1″ (actually sometimes even wider) wide and is generally the same color or color family. Some have two colors, sometimes the color is mottled or has a subtle pattern. It is clean and beautiful and quite thread-li-cious.

Also new today is Sinamay Ribbon. Sinamay is made from woven abaca fiber (as is Tissutex and Dyed Abaca Tissue) and is much like a stiff scrim. It makes great backgrounds for embroideries, a base for stitching, structure for 3D work, rubbings, and can be formed when moistened. We have Sinamay in 3 colors: amber (pictured), aquamarine and rain forest green.
