Tencel and ramie.
We are a retail store in Austin, Texas, located in the old stone house

this page.

Sorry, but we do not have a catalog, although we are working towards
making this website our catalog.

We
like silk, and have a great stock of more than 30 types of silk.
Silk can be either very drapey and flowing like Charmeuse,
or shiny and iridescent like silk dupioni. We have more than 100
colors of exceptionally fine dupioni, several styles of silk velvet
including burnout silk velvet, several colors of charmeuse, silk
gauze, silk organza, silk suiting fabrics and many other fine natural
silks. Browse through our silk pages for more information on manufacture,
use, and care of fine silk.

Being
in Austin, Texas where it always seems hot, we naturally have a
lot of cotton. And all of the cotton we have is natural.
Click on the navigation bar to the left to browse through our selection.
We have real organic cotton, grown in
pesticide free fields. Other cotton fabrics include real pure cotton Batik and Ikat, and
many other cotton sewing fabrics including superfine cotton pique and natural
cotton batiste.

Linens
are also great for hot weather. Silk Road stocks a wide selection
of natural linen in different weights. We have more than
50 colors of linen and several linen prints so have a look at our
linen color charts on those pages. We have a wide variety of European
linen, and at some of the best prices around. As linen is one of
the oldest natural fibers, care is easy, just see our linen care
recommendations. Just the Flax, ma'am.

The
newest fiber in 30 years, tencel drapes, tencel breathes,
tencel machine washes, tencel jumps over tall buildings and drips
dry! We stock blends of tencel and Rayon as well as 100% tencel
in solids and prints. Tencel is a very popular fabric, and our stock
of tencel turns over quickly.

Visit
our Other Fibers page for info on Ambiance Bemberg lining
and a few others. Most of our stock is natural fibers, though. Unusual
arrivals land here.

Button,
buttons, we've got a lot of great buttons. We stock very unusual
buttons: bone buttons, wood buttons, brass buttons, pewter
buttons, glass buttons, and jet buttons. The main button page has
more information and links to the button picture pages. Difficult
to represent what we have at any one time, as the button fashion
changes so fast. No, Silk Road does not get its buttons from the
dry cleaners. We have added new Czechslovakian glass buttons to
the glass button link.

We
now have a section on fabric care, gleaned from the experiences
of our staff and others. You might be surprised to know that practically
everything you can buy at Silk Road is washable.

It
is hard to get a feel for the color and texture of a fabric, no
matter now hard you rub your computer screen. And because our inventory
changes pretty quickly, we offer a Swatch Service so you
can match the color and texture of what we have to what you need.
From silk to cotton, we can send it all your way.

Keep
up with new arrivals and class schedules by joining our mailing
list. We send out only a few short e-mails a year, usually
sale and Newsletter (with class schedule) announcements. Sign yourself
on or off at any time. We keep our mailing list to ourselves, and
your address will never be sold or shared with anyone.
