Crêpe Georgette 10

Noble look, flowing fall! In comparison to georgette 08, georgette 10 has a denser weave, so that it is less transparent and is very well suitable for fancy blouses with an elegant fall and a smaller creasing tendency. This quality is also used for scarves and shawls. The fabric is easy to be tied and draped, the knots hold well. Because of its high volume colors from painting and printing are expressed lusciously on georgette. It is also very suitable as a base material for nuno felting but rather for experienced felters because the wool fibers of fabric with this volume need a longer handling time until they start to pervade the fabric. This bouffant fabric is especially well suitable for felting on single woolen parts (e.g. FLYFEL-pads), so that the contrast between flowing silk fabric and dense felt is decoratively expressed.

For this design example a bold twirly motif was painted onto the stretched white Georgette by using transparent Gutta. Afterward, the whole surface was water colored in pastel colors and every second square was filled in with black paint. Due to the transparency of the silk, new shot colored nuances are continuously created when the piece is worn.
