Mawata or Silk Hankies come from a degummed cocoon and then are stretched onto a square frame where it gets its form. It can be spun by stretching the hankie into a big loop and pulling as thin as you want. Incredible for Nuno felting, just place them on top of your design before felting to get a cobweb effect. Don't forget to iron your project to maximize the sheen of the silk. Also, it can be used for knitting without the need for spinning it first. Just stretch and knit it!

I used to store my fibers with lavender sachets, but I don't anymore as I have learned that moths hate disturbances and some people are allergic to lavender. Now I dust and clean more frequently and move things around but I still include a lavender sachet with each order, unless someone requests me not to. If you don't want the lavender because you are allergic or for some other reason, let me know in the comment section, or send me a message.

I do my best to get pictures from different angles to capture and show the beauty of the color combination. Remember that your monitor may show colors differently than mine. I'm always open to questions.


The lighting for the photos makes the colors a little brighter than they do in person, so expect the colors one or two shades darker.
