I had a present from someone, the box was wrapped in Sari silk waste yarn- this was a few months ago. I have only just seen this tutorial but the pendant suited this type of wrapping, I had made a choker with copper wire for the pendant, recycling the sari waste yarn.

Hi Silveryc!
Thanks for your comment!
I am so in love with this material: not only is it luxuriant being silk, but it is wild and free with the ragged edges. One of my favorite tasks is opening the skein of silk and unwinding it for choosing my colors. I wish I could make a curtain from it!
I would love to see your choker!
Have fun creating.
