	Item code: IN-organza Hand loomed Indian silk organza Desc: Loomed by hand, this Indian silk organza contains sericin and is more conducive to selective degumming than China-manufactured silk and retains more body post-process. Organza is a lightweight, transparent fabric in plain weave with a crisp hand that usually is made of very fine filament yarns. True organza is made of silk, its stiffness provided by natural gum (sericin) that remains on the filament. 115 cm width Volume Orders: 20% discount given for orders of this item greater than 25m.

GUNMA SILK

Untreated silk broadcloths (leno, silk-linen blends, crepes) made of high twist yarns in which the sericin & fibroin proteins are left intact. This imparts certain qualities and behaviors to the fabric, allowing for interesting surface treatments. Gunma silks are the result of a collaborative idea conceived in 1997 by Yoshiko I Wada and Koshimitsu Mill of Kiryu, Gunma Prefecture. Gunma silks are exceptional canvases for shibori - exploiting the combinations of high twist yarns and proteins on cellulose fibers, playing with textures through gumming, de-gumming, permanent shaping, etc.

DESIGN EXAMPLES: See great creative possibilities of Gunma Silk in these fine works by Ana Lisa Hedstrom here , Genevieve Dion here , Michele Ratté here

PRICING: Priced per meter, in USD (1m=39in). Sold in WHOLE meter increments only. Minimum = 3m per single fabric.
DISCOUNTS VARY: Given for larger volume based on combined silk total. Example: 10m (GS1) + 15m (GS2) = 25m combined, thus both fabrics use the discounted price bracket for 25-50m
STOCK: No back orders. Inventory is replenished as-needed. If we are out of stock but you are interested in a sufficiently large volume (50+m), email directly to orders [at] yoshikowada [dot] com
