Silk habotai fabrics and pongee silks while supplies last

Habotai and pongee are what most people imagine when they think of silk. Lightweight fabrics in a plain weave, they excel as linings and for use in accessories like neck scarves and bows. Pongee is the lighter of the two. Both are quite sheer (especially in pale tones), with a nice drape and a subtle, silky sheen. They make wonderful, breathable linings but also feature well as the fashion fabric for blouses, tunics, and dresses. These fabrics are just the thing for scarves and kerchiefs.
