There are five stages of curl development. Drawn formations only span four development stages, while Lyre spans all five stages.
Galliac Broadtail
Our finest, most delicate watered silk Swakara. Ultra thin, extra-light weight; the lightest of our labelled collection. This specialist fabric represents the absolute pinnacle of natural breeding selection. Superlative light reflective qualities, especially in higher grades. Only extra short fibre length is allowed. Requires hand stitching. At less than one percent of a collection, this is possibly the world’s rarest and most exclusive fabric.
