This week I had a chance to dye up some new silk scarves. I love seeing how the colors play together! Even when I dye more than one at the same time, each one turns out a little differently.

After trying out a variety of different types of silk scarves, I think I have found my personal favorite silk type and size, and I hope you love them as much as I do. They are 11 inches wide by 60 inches long. They are big enough to style in lots of different ways.

The type of silk is called silk satin, which means they are made of 100% mulberry silk, and the weave is a satin weave. Satin weave has floats in it and produces a fabric that’s very shiny on the front and matte on the back. The ones I have been using are a little bit thicker and feel almost velvety. They look great and feel great too!

When it’s too warm to wear handmade shawls and hats, these silk scarves are the perfect finishing touch for any outfit! You can find all my hand-dyed silk scarves right here.

Hand-Dyed Top

I also dyed some top for spinning made of 70% merino and 30% bamboo. The merino takes the dye while the bamboo does not, which gives the yarn a heathered look when you spin it. Here is Ocean at Night:

…and here is Northern Lights:

You can see these two colorways along with all my other spinning and felting fiber right here.

You can now filter the type of fiber you want to see, so if you just want to see kid mohair locks or hand-dyed top or art batts, you can!

I think that’s everything for this week. To my Jewish friends, I wish you a very happy Passover. To my fellow Christians, have a blessed holy week and a happy Easter.
