65 Roses® 'Rosemary' - Thread, Harmony (6-strand silk floss)
Harmony—100% Spun Silk—6 strand floss; 10 yard
USUALLY inspired by and named for actual roses, this 65 Roses® colorway is perpetual..we continue to dye it.
There aren't many green roses, so we've expanded our rose theme. We have a large rosemary plant that comes back every year--walking past it every day, I've been admiring the wide range of greens...the stems are gray-green and the leaves are green-green, with a bit of yellow green in the spring. Hence the inspiration for Rosemary 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 $40,000 through December 31, 2024—we appreciate your support as we work toward our 2025 goal!

Hand-painted in Colorado--color fast.
We use acid dyes for all of our silk dyeing.
For variegated colorways, we "paint" the dye onto the silk. It takes strong fingers to work the silk into the many strands. We steam at 190 degrees for several hours. We allow the silk to cool down overhight.
We rinse the silk until the water runs clear.
Wash instructions: wash in cool or cold water. Let dry. Iron, if desired, using the Silk setting on your iron.
