Wonderful, But Imperfect!

Winter, 2012: Our Colorado Dyers have been dyeing the 100 hand-dyed Treenway Silks colors. Different water, different altitude (we’re a mile high) plus a change to one of the manufacturer’s dye powder formulations have given us a nice stash of beautifully hand-dyed silk that doesn’t quite measure up to the Treenway Silks’ high standards.

The silk is lovely and in perfect condition, but the color isn’t an exact match to our color chart (close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades!) In some skeins the color varies slightly throughout—proving that it’s hand-dyed—but more variation than Treenway Silks accepts.

You benefit from our practice--we offer these silk skeins at the same price as the natural-color silk--so the dyeing is free to you! Want multiple skeins of the same color? Look at the dye lot and if the skein has the same letter, then the skeins were in the same dyepot; if different, then the colors will be similar but different.

These are one-of-a-kinds and once they’re gone, they’re gone! Or, paraphrasing Benjamin Franklin--she who hesitates is lost!
