Our silk rods are not the pristine tree trunk ones you might often see. Ours have curly and flat which means they are split silk carrier rods. You can often pull more layers off but they are exciting to work with like this. You can further iron them flat if you wish. Pull apart all the layers and iron them flat and bond to a surface for stitching to create a fabulous piece of fabric. Or just use your imagination as you wish. Our 10g packs are a random selection taken from those shown below, all beautifully hand dyed.
