Silk oh, Silk. What a fabulous fabric it is! Beautiful, strong and versatile. This fabric is suitable for both the informal and the formal setting. The variety and types of weaves are endless, as are the multitudes of effects in weaving and types of silk cloth that can be created. 

Silk is an ancient fabric. Developed first China it was used not only for clothing, but bedding and bedding accessories as well. The  tensile strength -- that is to say when the fabric is pulled in two different directions it is more likely to bounce back and regain its shape -- is higher than other natural fabrics. So silk is durable, fantastic, fabulous and above all available at Brandt and Whitney. 

It is important to note that fabric outlets like JoAnns, Denver Fabrics and Hancock Fabrics cannot compete with Brandt and Whitney when it comes to our selection. Because we have access to a great number of jobber sources we are able to bring the best fabrics to the public as possible.

Silk is a remarkable fabric in the manner that it can be dyed. Silk can be dyed in a wonderful, fantastic array of colors from the palest of yellows and the almost transparent creams to the most vibrant reds and the purples and the warmest of greens and pinks.  We have all of these colors in the finest array and if we do not have it we can get it from manufactureslike Kravet,  Kneedler Fauchere, Brunschwig and Fils, Designtex, Kimball, Distinctive Design Florals, Maharam, John Brooks, Robert Allen, Wesco Fabrics, Hoff Miller, Scalamandre, Moda Antiqua, Carter Didlake, F Schumacher, Greef,  and Waverly,  just to name a few.
