[Ansteorra] Fwd: Ideas for new veils at Dharma?

[Donnchadh Beag mac Griogair]

I'm not that interested in silk veils, but I'm all about pre-hemmed silk 
banners :-)

For all you silk banner painters out there, what size and weight do you 
usually use?

Donnchadh
p.s.  I also love Dharma, both for their silk painting and linen dying 
supplies.
