Born in a dance
Through eyes connecting
Something of a trance

To another soul
Longing for something yet unknown
Passions stirred, hearts grew, minds expanded

Gifts shared then passed along
Masters on […]

Dharma Trading Company: Hot Fuscia #620 Brilliant Kelly Green #627 Chartreuse #628 Brilliant Blue #623 (just ok) Dharma used to have a good yellow dye, called “dharma flourescent yellow”, but I’m not sure if it’s still available. Aljo: Flavine Yellow (good yellow) Rhodamine B […]

Hi Chris,
I usually prefer Habotai Silk, 8 mumme (mm), 45″ wide. 5 mm and 10 mm Habotai are also used frequently. 5mm is great for lightweight larger sized flags, and 10mm makes for heavier, more durable sets.
I’ve also tried Charmeuse, Crepe de Chine, and Organza.
Regards,
Phillip
