Silk Dupion Lilac (sometimes the spelling is ‘douppioni’ or ‘dupioni’), is a lustrous silk, usually brightly coloured and often woven from two different colours of threads, to give it a shot appearance.  A reversible fabric which is not particularly stretchy, but is relatively easy to sew with or onto. For Goldwork you will need a backing fabric such as  Poly Cotton or Calico
