A very popular color from the Victorian era, this is a Smokey/Dusky base color of earthy rose with no bright pink or purple to it at all. Warm and earthy, this very subtle rose hue is a soothing and warm color. Excellent for spinning, weaving, jewelry making, scrap-booking and fantastic mixed media! Photos taken in varied lighting with the first picture in deep shade with no flash or sunlight to brighten it. The last photo was taken in dappled sunlight and the flashback makes it look too light/bright.
Sari Silk Ribbon is made in India by women working through Fair Trade. They take what would otherwise be silk waste, from cutting sari silk for wraps and clothing, and sew the pieces end to end, occasionally tying ends, to make beautiful yarn. Some edges are fringed,frayed or lacy, adding physical as well as visual texture. Shown in different lights, this is a beautiful pastel on white, and soothing colorway. Ribbon width ranges from 1/2" to about 1" across with some areas thicker, up to 2" or wider. Use them phat or strip them into thinner ribbon. Embellish scrapbooks, book covers, scarves, art yarn, luggage, wreaths or purse straps, even jewelry. Great in weaving, rug making, or plying into your OOAK yarns.
Listing is for five yards, 10 yards or a full skein. Full skeins average 45 - 50 yards
