Here is another source for silk. The business is in the process of
changing hands but I'm sure they will have the same product.

Hi Everybody:
Can anyone tell me what "purse silk" or "purse twist" is? From what
I have
managed to glean from the web, it appears to be three ply silk with
a high
sheen and thicknesses quoted are 300 and 500, or numbers to that
effect.
Just his morning it hit me where I'd seen the term "purse silk". It
was to do
with a pattern I bought once to knit a beaded purse. The company
that made
that pattern sells "3-count" and "5-count" rayon (i.e. "artificial
silk" or
"art silk") in a couple of dozen different colours on its website:

Hope this helps.
