Tapestry Print Sequined Mesh
From Italian company known for psychedelic prints. Easy to sew, you can serge directly - sequined mesh with a little give lengthwise. A little transparency not much to worry about. You can treat like a woven and line to make a shift dress, caftan, great for tops with jeans, this is even more gorgeous in person. Pattern runs cross grain.
Italian fashion deadstock, imported.
51" sequins/ 58"including mesh border
Teal Wool Knit Binder
Crisp vibrant teal wool binder 10mm on each side with a crease for the fold. Please note this stretches cross not with the length. This makes it easy to wrap an edge or for covering a seam but does not stretch lengthwise. The binder will stretch over the boiled wool, not super heavy coating but a medium coat and jacket weight. Feel free to ask questions. It will do curve depending on how severe but I recommend dampening in the curve and steaming to shrink and mold first. Also consider using on another fiber for contrast.
made in Japan, each side is 10mm
100% wool
Tencel Twill Soft Light Blue
Super soft with good weight for pants and dresses. Lots of drape. Apparently there is a small flaw in the weave every 1 1/2 yard, I can't see it but still looking deeper. This is very very soft, opaque, why throw away because of a little slub in the weave.

Two Yard Tuesday: Another Navy Italian Soft Draping Caftan Wool Gauze
This is so wonderful, it is full of drape and weight for summer caftans. Yes, this is perfect for sheerness over a bathing suit or slip, this feels amazing. The weave is a little coarser and polished than the other, you can make a kimono cut style jacket. Kind of a day to night dressing gown. Gives good bias.
