Best Silk for Whipping?

<< < (2/2)

agaronline:
Pure sewing silk tends to be too weak for whipwork because it’s designed for needlework, not load-bearing wraps. Look for silk that’s meant for upholstery, bookbinding, or leatherwork, as these are usually stronger and more tightly spun. Some traditional bowyers also use silk-covered linen or silk-covered polyester thread — the silk gives the look you want, and the core gives the strength.
