For many beginners, felting is a completely new adventure, a truly unique & personal way to express your artistic flavours. For us felting is an escape, a healing process, & once upon a time a profession.
Half the fun of felting, whether you’re nuno, wet, or needle felting, is incorporating all those luxurious, beautiful, textural fibres. Fortunately Beautiful Silks has a mixture of delicious delicacies to aid you on your felting adventures, leading the way is our Tissue Silk Georgette, available in both a luminous ethereal white & a shadowy midnight black.
Almost weightless, a seductively smooth fabric, with a soft drape & light airy feel, its ideal for embellishments, & a true delight to felt with. So very soft on the skin this fabric has a delicately sheer handle with a light bounce & drapes beautifully with a matt finish.
Not only for felters, our Tissue Silk Georgette is the perfect material for dressmaking, blouses, lingerie, scarves, skirts, evening & special occasion wear.
Our range is available in varying widths, there’s also a handful of Black Silk Tissue lengths available in our remnants range

We’ve had a blast these school holidays, enjoying quality time with our little ones, they love being in the Beautiful Silks warehouse & they’re incredibly helpful.
Cutting & sorting hundreds of different fabrics for our catalogues, helping us fold & neatly put away all our new stock, & their absolute favourite, helping us test out a fabulous new batch of Silk Paper making Kits.
We’ve received glorious feed back about our Kits, creating luxurious, soft textured & unique cards, invitations, collages & letters to loved ones & friends.
We’ve found these crafting activities give kids a real sense of achievement, allowing them to take great pride in their work & building confidence in their abilities.
Making Silk paper is an exciting & safe way to discover so many artistic & scientific possibilities, whilst spending quality time with parents, grandparents & friends.
After selling out at the end of last year we are well & truly stocked up for the year ahead.

Wedding bells are in the air at Beautiful Silks, we’re rolling up our selves to create one of the most gorgeous dresses imaginable.
After long discussions, many ideas & countless sketches we reached for the incredibly elegant Silk Satin Charmeuse. Named after the French word for a female charmer, charmeuse’s elegance makes this fabric ideal for an alluring, delicate & sophisticated dress. Most importantly Silk Satin Charmeuse is incredibly comfortable, & provides the most skin loving ally on a day filled with emotion.
Its flow is eloquent; it hugs your body beautifully, skimming over your curves in all the right ways, looks effortlessly luxurious & graceful as it moves naturally with you as you walk down the aisle.
Being a lightweight fabric, you can add multiple layers to your dress without making it too heavy to carry, its unique weave produces a highly versatile fabric, shiny & lustrous on one side with a matte finish on the reverse.
Its Satins weave combined with a perfectly smooth silk thread that produces a finish which mesmerisingly captures light, its naturally fluid & floating drape means your dress on the special day will be everything you ever imagined.
Charmeuse is also the ideal choice for women’s slips, negligees, & lingerie of all types, coat linings, shirts, handkerchiefs, evening gowns & bedding.
And when your big day is over, your magical gown can be dyed & transformed into a show stopping dress for all life’s other special occasions.

We believe fashion should be good for both people & the planet, our latest range does exactly that.
Four new phenomenal handwoven Tussah Silk fabrics are now available at cost price!!
This was not the supply we ordered, but fortunately for all our clients we saw its amazing potential & would love to share it you.
The nature of wild hand reeled yarn gives this fabric real character, from the gradient of coffee hues & natural golden beige, to its chunky slubby texture & imperfect weaving makes it completely unique, & exudes sophistication. These fabrics provide a real sense of luxury & comfort & are ideal for jackets, coats, cushions, curtains, shirts & upholstery, currently gaining great popularity with interior designers.
These Tussah Silk fabrics are strong, with a durable structure & have been made using ancient techniques, with handspun yarns and hand-woven fabrics laboriously made by remarkably skilled weavers in remote village areas, they radiate the authentic rich character of 100’s of years of Indian tradition.

We’re entering the new year bursting at the seams with a huge new range of seven phenomenal Silk Noil fabrics.
Fresh from our suppliers, who grow in small farms, personally deliver to the processing factory & are woven all by one co operative. These phenomenal fabrics support families & the whole community.
This versatile, breathable, sustainable & ethical fabric is what’s called an ‘everyday silk’. It’s a fabric that resists wrinkles & travels well. Used for a broad variety garments (jackets, tops, dresses, pants, etc.)! Plus, it’s a good choice for sewing beginners, & caters to all kinds of tastes & lifestyles
Our range is expertly crafted from handmade raw Silk, all contain slight variations in the weave & materials, & thusly produce slight distinctions.
Some fabrics will contain small flaws, others appear seedier than others, all contain the undeniable Silk Noil charm of a perfectly imperfect nubby texture, that feels like a buttery cotton or linen. A drape which falls in sculptural & elegant folds producing a sophisticated & relaxed aesthetic. The natural colour is off-white to warm beige, with small flecks. A dream to dye, & the perfect canvas for eco-printing projects.
Wether you’re a home sewing extraordinaire, professional dress maker or in costume design our Silk Noil collection has everything you need, it's the largest available in Australia & hand selected by us from suppliers we know personally.
We aim to always be as detailed as possible when describing all fabrics, especially those that may contain small flaws. If you need further details please feel free to email us, or call so we can help you select the perfect product.
