Silk Organza Project : look at how crisp the Silk Organza.

Korean Silk Dupioni Organza is stiffer than most other organza, and it can give the final  product a crisp and formal appearance.

If you work with iron, it could work like as if  Silk paper. For example, if you fold the silk  and then ironing,  it tends to keep creases well like folded paper. In contrast, if you spread this fabric out and then ironing, it tends to resist wrinkles.

Even if this Silk Organza has  a lot of  functional advantage, it's very difficult to apply folding techniques for hand dyeing. Because it's too crisp to fold.. unlike normal fabric such as cotton.

You can see the folding line in the photo above. I think it's not bad for a first attempt, and if I fold more big size I could get more good result. And I was attracted to folding techniques for dyeing by this attempt. I will try to dye with folding skill and will post about that. See you soon.
