Kinkame - "Mawata" Japanese Raw Silk for Felting, Spinning, Dyeing, and Batting
$5 flat rate shipping within the US
These raw silk stretched cocoons are useful for thermal insulation in quilts and clothing, silk caps for chemotherapy (super soft and light on the skin), spinning into yarn, dyeing as-is for hankies, felting, etc.
Packet contents as shown measure approximately 11" x 6".
One package contains five stretched cocoons. Light as a feather!
Stretching tip: It takes two! Open one mawata up (it's like a pocket) and using two people, pull four corners at the same time to stretch the mawata into a large square.
Quilters: stretch a few of these out and lay them on top of a quilt batting to add a soft and warm layer to your regular batting.
