Shinju 100% spun silk, tightly twisted, size #5 perle - 10 yards

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

Night Owl was inspired by the rich, deep red-violets of the rose by the same name, and then we added evening blue colors and a bit of rusty brown, too--I love this one!  Quite stunning! Click HERE to see the rose that inspired this colorway.

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

--similar in size #5 perle
--3-ply thread, not designed to separate the strands
