Silk Eyelash

Treenway Silks has new Silk Eyelash in five colors, providing a gradation from white to black with three neutral grays in-between. The 10-yard skein looks thick and furry, but once you unwind it, you have delicate silk “lashes” on a strong polymide binder. Silk Eyelash can be stitched on canvas, using long stitch with just a bit of fill-in if you have areas that look thin. Then run the back of your needle over it to fluff it up. Easy and cute! Colors are natural white, river stone, stonehenge, slate and raven black. Think hair, beards and fur! Each 10-yard skein of Silk Eyelash is $7.50 retail. Contact Treenway Silks.
