Dear Leila, Pongees in London sells silk faille - in ivory. You could then have it dyed to the exact colour. http://www.pongees.co.uk/content/1602 Joanne Hackett >>> Ira & Leila Harritt <[log in to unmask]> 09/09/2013 20:03 >>> Dear Tom, I spotted your e-mail on the tex-con. I am looking for a silk type Grosgrain fabric for the back of a folding screen. The front is silk aubusson tapestry. Color: dusty peach. I have found good fabrics cotton/poly in upholstery shops but not the right color. Do you have any suggestions?? I left a message about this with Verlene last week but no word has been received yet. I would appreciate any help you might provide in finding a grosgrain or faille fabric. Thank you very much.
