crepe silk
i am making a shawl for a friend who is getting married in september. mailing these three samples for her to chose.if she chooses the linen knit i will be a very happy camper!
the woven sample has to be researched more as the crepe silk becomes quite scratchy after wet finishing. used a tablespoon of sodium bicarb as scouring agent since it is milder than washing soda.
just simmered and it didn't cut it. had to add hair rinse to soften it.
what has the collective wisdom to say about this?
