Just wondering if anyone has purchased any raw silk from Dongdaemun Fabric Market. I would like to buy some silk and bring it back to Canada. I am looking at the price range for silk here in Korea. Anyone know? Thanks.

I go to the fabric market quite regularly but have not found anything that is even close to silk. They have some brocade at the hanbok stalls but I haven't tried to buy any of it since I am sewing on the cheap and easy and don't feel like dealing with it. The signs outside say that there is suppose to be silk on the second or third floor but I have not run across any. If you had someone with you that spoke Korean you may have some luck in finding some silk but since I have always gone alone I haven't. It might be tucked away somewhere but I always get lost when I go since it is four buildings that are connected.

As for getting there go to the Dongdaemun subway station and go out exit 9 (I think) look for the sign that says Dongdaemun shopping town. It is the big building right by that station exit. If you cross the little stream there you have gone the wrong way or walked right by it. It is only open until 4pm on Saturday and not at all on Sunday, but i don't know its weekday hours. Hope that helps. Sorry if I am kinda vague but I go by memory now not by the signs.

I found this link when I was looking for fabric markets in Korea. It says there are silk sections at the Dongdaemun fabric market. (Look halfway down page).
