Photos of the Thai silk and cotton for the textile freaks!

All the silk is now sold. However, I still have the cool, insanely long length of the cotton, which I'm selling for $100. Shipping will be additional, but it'll fit nicely into Priority Mail flat rate packaging. And if you're in DC, we can arrange a hand-off.

Note: the cotton is 20" wide.

If you're interested, my contact details are on my profile page. I will e-mail a link to this entry to those who have sent me correspondence with interest. Please note: I will update this page and remove images as pieces sell.

Thai matmee cotton. This piece of cotton (20" wide) is INSANELY long at approximately 17 yards. 13 yards are in blue and green shades and 4 yards are in autumnal, earthy tones. A little fabric surf and turf. I can only imagine that the weaver said, "Eh, what the hell, I ran out of the blue/green stuff, let's do some more with that other stuff I have left over!" It's a medium-weight loomed cotton, and I could see it used for a gazillion things. Considering the length of this fabric, "gazillion" is not an understatement.

Size: 612" (51 feet or 17 yards). Price: $100.

Thanks for your interest!

How you know when you're too tired to be reading blog -- when you think the description of the cotton reads "surf and turd." (Absolutely no reflection on the hues of the cloth, btw, just my cloudy contact lenses.)

WOW - that silk is gorgeous. Your prices are an absolute steal (she says, as she wishes she only had a practical reason to indulge in silk, any money to buy said silk, and declawed kittens who don't attack both cloth and flesh with equal gusto.)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Surf and turd" - I think I've been to a few bad restaurants like that. Brilliant.

Two pieces of the silk have sold so far - I'm looking forward to the rest going to good homes. Cats are immediately drawn to Nice Things That Will Snag, aren't they?
