Marilyn, perhaps something was lost by translation. On the contrary, you need to have margelan silk for this, just like the one you see here www.livemaster.ru/item/9870727-materialy-dlya-tvorchestva-shelk-margilanskij-gaz Pencil roving that I sent you would work fine on this silk, and also on a little denser margelan (I cannot show you a photo, the shop has run out of it abviously and it is not listed. What 5mm georgette looks like I have no idea.

I will order some margilan and try it with the pencil roving, then hopefully be able to try the process with the prefelt.

I ordered the butterfly silk offered by outback and a silk mesh they have. I'll try those and see what works.

Thanks Nada. I have seen those fantastic shawls but don't think I'd have the patience for so much work - to cut out so many pieces & lay them so evenly. You did a lovely job. But if I do get my hands on some margilan any time, that's what I'd want to try.
Oh wow - that shop! Fantastic selection & low prices on viscose, nepps, silk roving etc. Thanks Nada, I will try to wait a bit to see if the other stronger margilan fabric comes into stock then will order some of each. it's much more inexpensive than I expected. I do hope they can ship to Greece, they have a post option for overseas.

You need to order online but afterwards the lady will tell you what are the actual postage costs. Do not be frightened by the figures for postage you see at the end of the bill. I've made several orders from them, mostly silk and viscose. Do not buy merino wool from them - it is more expensive because htey import it themselves.
