Artificial silk shades of violet
We may be die-hard proponents of natural silk, but we know that artificial silk has its place in the sewing room too. That’s why we have made it our business to search out top-quality art silk that can serve as an affordable imitation. Imitations made from rayon or lyocell are breathable and comfortable, much like real silk. And while artificial silks made from polyester are not known for breathability, they are very well priced and come in a large range of variations and shades.
Maybe you’d like to try out a new pattern for taffeta or duchess satin without anteing up for the real thing?
- Artificial variants behave similarly to real silk when sewing.
- Artificial silk also has the advantage of being easier to care for, making it suitable for theatrical costumes and children’s dress clothes.
