I've already washed it once and it started to fade in a delicious sort of way but now to fray!!! I've also thrifted some pieces of dupioni (mostly full skirts) and need to pull them out of my stash. Can't wait to see what else you do.<br /><br />I love every glimpse of your neighborhood too. Someday I'm getting out of the 'burbs. xoxoxoxoJean at www.drossintogold.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089424590056521268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855116479106700295.post-5728822927673796552016-09-23T09:47:05.317-05:002016-09-23T09:47:05.317-05:00Albertine and pao have spent many a good time like...Albertine and pao have spent many a good time like that.

My goodness what a treat to be listed by you and with royalty to boot.<br />Silk dupioni is a plain weave, crisp silk fabric, produced by using fine thread in the warp and uneven thread from two or more entangled cocoons in the weft. cool huh?
