Undyed Checks – Raw Silk Noil

Special solids. This undyed silk noil has a checkered pattern achieved through its weave, giving a lot of visual texture to the fabric. Compared to our standard silk noil, its weave is looser so the fabric has a better drape. Feels very bohemian. Silk noil has a highly textured surface with distinctive nubs that give it a very earthy feel and look. It is often also known as raw silk. This opaque fabric has a lovely drape and is a great apparel fabric for beginners as it is easy to cut and sew (not slippery or thin like conventional silk varieties). A truly versatile fabric, it can be used for projects year-round, from dresses in the summer to insulating shirts in the winter. As silk noil is one of our favorite fabrics, we continuously introduce new colors and varieties. You can read more about the textile details of this amazing fabric here.
