100% Silk de Chine---Luxurious, mid weight silk, 16.5 mm. Offers a soft, matte finished look with hand-torn frayed edges.

Blumen Roots offers hand dyed silk ribbon inspired by the natural surroundings of the Northwest, such as wolf lichen, juniper berries, cherries, and pine needles. Botanical materials include ethically foraged and grown plants, leaves, stems, bark, berries, and nuts, as well as an assortment of hues sourced from Botanical Colors. These materials lend themselves to complex and ever-changing hues that match our changing seasons. All silk ribbons are small batched and meticulously crafted by hand.

The beauty of natural dyed materials is much different than commercially dyed material. Here, plant material offers subtle variation, just like in nature. This can be seen in small variations or subtle markings, which adds to the ribbon's rich uniqueness. Each batch goes through a labor of love, starting with a scour and mordant process to best prepare fibers to achieve durable and long lasting colors. After a calculated dye bath experience, the silk is gently cleansed with a ph neutral soap, dried, and hand rolled. Perfect for floral displays, special events, heirloom crafting, gift wrapping, invitations, and anywhere else you would like to add meaningful detail.

Care: For natural pigments, it is recommended to wash with a pH neutral soap (such as Seventh Generation) in a garment bag on gentle cycle or by hand.

Please Note: Blumen Roots strives to provide accurate color descriptions, however due to variations in the hand dying process, as well as computer monitor color displays, there may be slight variations between those pictured above and actual color.
