Silk is undisputedly the most beautiful of all natural fibers. It is also uncommonly strong, even at its finest. It is unlike any other fabric. Our silk is traditionally dyed to create stunning works of art. These silk ribbons are colorfast (after washing) washable, dry-cleanable, 100% silk and are bias cut which gives them a nice body or stretch. The cut on the bias means in a continuous spool; there is a seam every two yards and the edges are not finished. We highly recommend ordering samples if your project is color sensitive. |

Not to be confused with Hanah Silk; these spools are made by Of The Earth; produced by hand in our Seattle studio. Our hand dipped process produces a unique look that has subtle qualities that cannot be found in traditional ribbon dyeing. In conventional dyeing the yarn is first dyed in a vat and then loaded onto a loom where the strands are woven together to form the ribbon. In our hand dyeing all of the action happens while the bias cut spool is tightly wrapped, that pressure resist influences where and how the dye is absorbed. We hope you enjoy our ribbons as much as we like making them! |
