    I've had this silk for a while now and haven't been able to find out about it. I have about three yards. Someone offered me $8 for it last weekend and I bridled at the the price, but for all I know, that could be reasonable.
    Has anyone seen this inspection stamp before? If so, does it date the fabric? I found a company in Japan which may be the one who made this fabric, but they don't seem to produce plain silk anymore.
    And by the way, is this considered raw silk?

    It does appear to be a type of raw silk and I can see why you'd want to find out more.

    raw silk open weave....
    Also known as Silk Noil. This is a slightly nubby fabric with random flecks in a natural, off-white color. It has a somewhat rough texture and gentle drape.
