Shown here is crewel work embroidery on silk organza fabric. Organza is a thin,
plain weave, sheer fabric traditionally made from silk, the continuous filament
of silkworms. Nowadays , though many organzas are woven with synthetic filament
fibers such as polyester or nylon, the most luxurious organzas are still woven
in silk.
Silk organza is woven by a number of mills along the Yangtze River and
in the province of Zhejiang in China. A coarser silk organza is woven in the
Bangalore area of India. Deluxe silk organzas are woven in France and Italy.
