silk fabric

Available types include silk organza, which is sheer and lightweight, and Habotai silk, known for a soft, smooth feel and a natural sheen.

Printable silk sheets are offered in an 8.5" x 11" format, while wearable silk items are available in larger pieces such as a 14" x 72" scarf.

Printable silk items are described as compatible with standard inkjet printers and are specially coated or prepared for inkjet printing.

Some silk sheets are specially coated for inkjet compatibility, and each sheet is backed with a removable paper liner to aid printing and handling.

Printable silk sheets commonly include a removable paper backing or liner designed to ensure smooth feeding through standard inkjet printers and easy peel-off after printing.

Silk sheets and scarves are suggested for quilting, collage, mixed-media and fine art, as well as wearable-art techniques like silk painting, Shibori, batik, dyeing, and fabric printing.

After printing, peel off the paper backing and attach the silk to projects by sewing or using a fusible bonding material.

Organza is described as sheer and ideal for translucent, layered prints, while Habotai is described as soft and smooth with a natural or soft sheen that produces vivid, high-resolution prints.

For printed organza sheets, wait 24 hours before rinsing.

Scarf details list hand-rolled hems, an 8 mm weight, and a generous 14" x 72" size suitable for wearable-art techniques.
