100% Bombyx Silk; also called ‘Cultivated Silk’ or ‘Mulberry Silk’

Bombyx silk is the long silk fiber produced by matured and domesticated silkworms, it is lightweight, incredibly soft, and smooth.
due to the dye process each batch is slightly different, even skeins from the same batch are different.
These fibers were hand dyed using professional acid dyes, heat set and rinsed well, however some residual dye may come out in the first washing.
Hand Wash in cold water with like colors.
I try to get the color in the pictures as accurate as possible, however keep in mind different monitor settings may make the color look different.
