Is this one made from silk as well? Are the flowers little wool bits? I really like it, has a nice garden feel to it.

What a beautiful color, makes the flowers really stand out, but in a matchy kinda way (if that makes any sense)

ok hankies and caps are the same thing its just weather they are laid flat or stretched over a hoop. They are made up of many layers of silk cocoons.
