Zen Shin 100% spun silk thread - 10 yards

USUALLY inspired by and named for actual roses, this 65 Roses® colorway is perpetual..we continue to dye it.

We wanted to add a blue colorway, but there are no naturally occuring blue roses.  Applying a bit of creative license to our rose inspired theme, we found Rose Lake in Ohio, with beautiful deep blues.  Click HERE to see Rose Lake in Summer (you'll need to scroll to the bottom of the page) that inspired this colorway

“65 Roses®” is a term often used by young children with cystic fibrosis to pronounce the name of their disease.

Treenway Silks donates a minimum 10% of sales to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, in honor of Andrea's angels, to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis (CF). Since developing the 65 Roses® colorways in 2017, Treenway Silks has donated $11,400 through March 31, 2022—we appreciate your support as we work toward our 2022 goal!
