These Earth Silk spools are made by hand in our Seattle studio. Our 100% silk hand dipped, bias cut ribbon dyeing process produces a unique look with subtle qualities that cannot be found in traditional ribbon dyeing. Our process creates almost zero waste and generates a lasting work of art. These silk ribbons are colorfast (after washing) washable, dry-cleanable, 100% silk and are bias cut which gives them nice body or stretch. We highly recommend ordering samples (which we send for free!) if your project is color sensitive. We also recommend washing a sample to see how it behaves before working the silk into anything that may be exposed to water. The cut on the bias means in a continuous spool; there is a seam every two yards and the raw unfinished edges will naturally soften or fray with wear. Unlike other companies, we finish our seams with silk thread to create a more seamless appearance throughout the spools. Not to be confused with Hanah Silk; these spools are made by Of The Earth. 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 this hand dyed method 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! There are over 150 colors in our line and we continue to add more. Contact us with custom color request today!
