Someone got the bright idea to recycle silk saris into a sort of yarn. The saris are stripped and then sometimes sewn together. I discovered this material quite some years ago and have been using it here and there ever since.
They are very suitable for weft-faced weaving. I often use a combination of weaving and knotting to great effect. I have made little pouches and large purses which wear extremely well.
It is always fun to change up your materials to stretch the limits of weft-faced weaving and tapestry.
We have added some of this exciting silk to our store in two different colorways:
The silk can be found here: Sari Silk
We would love to see what you make with this silk. Send your vibrant silk gems to claudia@mirrixlooms.com and we will randomly choose one person to recieve the two colorways of sari silk. Plus your creation will be featured on Mirrix social media!
