Queen of the King of Fabrics - A Handspun - Handwoven SILK
This is a wonderful heavy fabric with a delightful slight sheen. I tried counting the warps and wefts to the inch and it generally is 21. I stitched two over two with silk floss and counted nine crosses per inch. The colour is natural and is very close to DMC 613. This is a dream to have kind of fabric and a must to any stash. Perfect for reproduction samplers. The width is approx 82 cm ( 32.5 inch ) and the price is USD 65 to the meter ( about 39 inches ) plus shipping (about USD 7 for registered post).

Hand-woven Cotton Fabrics
These natural cotton fabrics are hand-woven with 18th Century Anatolian wooden looms (Aegean region), thus imperfections are possible. A tradition almost completely lost. Aegean cotton is the second best quality in the world after Egypt. The structure is slightly heavier than muslin and perfect for shawl-scarves adorned with embroidered or bead/lace crocheted edgings. Limited but also suitable for drawn thread clusters.
Pre-washed - Hand wash in cold water with preferably natural soap or dry cleaning. I shall also be listing silk fabric from the same looms in future. From a smoke-free home with two cat masters. The price per metre ( a little less than 40" ) is USD 9.99 and the figures quoted for each piece below include international "signed for" shipping & handling. Questions welcome!
These same fabrics were used for costumes in some well known Hollywood movies (Harry Potter, Troy, Warrior) ...

Carnations
These are custom made hand crochet bead edgings with pure two strand silk floss. Each carnation has 86 rocailles seed beads. These will specially be made for you, with the colours you choose. Silk floss is a standard natural ecru colour. I have loads of bead colour variations, so feel free to use your imagination for the two choices. I have used them as the edgings for the cotton fabric presented above as a lovely shawl-scarf. Space between every carnation is about three centimetres ( a little over an inch ). You will understand that once your order is taken, they will not instantly be ready to be shipped but a maximum of one week is foreseen for the preparation. The estimated one week preparation period is for 30 carnations. 17 of them adds to about 42 cm ( 16.5" ).
The price for each carnation is USD 1.99 and the final product will be neatly coiled around a card board. Please send me a note to pelintezer at gmail dot com for your orders and invoice. Shipping is not/not included in this price and will have to be calculated but will not be more than USD 6 for "signed for" for a set of 40 carnations.
