I use this too- I got it at the convention in '91 for $5 (probably a
convention special). I bought the red one, and I wear it as a pocket square
until I need to swab with it. Usually only two or three people notice, but
it always gets a chuckle.

One or two people mentioned that they didn't think the silk absorbed as
well as cotton- personally I've found it better. The oboist I play with
uses silk swabs too (little skinny ones of course).
