I have a length of what sounds like the same silk on layby. If it is the same,
yes, isn't it gorgeous. Strangely enough, the name of the colour is 'Peacock'!
:-) I'm going to make my posh ECW gown out of it.

Subject: [h-cost] Osnaburg (& silk question)
Hello,
I found this definition - Osnaburg: A plainly woven cotton fabric with small
flecks of cotton stalks remaining within the weave. Its appearance is similar
to a coarse muslin.
Sounds like flour sacking material to me.
I found some gorgeous peacock blue silk - with a shimmer that changes color
from the greenish to blueish peacock range depending on the angle of the light.
I thought it would make a beautiful skirt lining or something? Would something
like this be too OOP? (if it is, I think I'll add it to my collection anyway,
but it would be nice to have an excuse)
