Reversible — both faces are finished and usable, which opens it up for construction methods where the wrong side would otherwise show (a real plus for garment work, pillows with no bad side, or draped applications). Versatile yardage suitable for decor or fashion use. One short end finishes in a self-fringe.
The silk is light as air — true drape and movement, none of the stiffness that shows up in synthetic blends trying to imitate the real thing.
