Silk Wool is a sturdy, medium weight fabric with velvety, slightly sparkly sheen. It can be used for bridal/wedding, lingerie, high-end sportswear, and home decor. Silk Wool makes a great body fabric for bustiers especially - it is incredibly durable and can withstand a heavy amount of seaming as well as support metal or plastic boning. It is a very crisp fabric that holds its shape when draped - this is a great fabric for tailored garments.
