Soft, shiny, with lots of beautiful texture from the Sari Silk.
Certain compounds have colour changing properties when exposed to acids and alkalis. As school children many of us experiences this using boiled up red cabbage in science lessons. A more stable and older version of this are dyes made from Lichens. These can be impregnated in to paper creating Litmus, which comes from an Old Norse word for "pulp". As far back as 1300 the Spanish physician Arnaldus de Villa Nova began using litmus to study acids and bases. Blue Litmus paper turns red under acidic conditions, and red litmus paper turns blue under alkali conditions.
Colour Description- Pale blue with streaks of pink, magenta and bright pink sari silk.
This range of fibres will use the same fibre composition, and the collection will rotate through different colours and collections over time. Some colours will be restocked, and others may be temporary to allow space for other colours. Even if a colour is restocked the nature of the sari silk means it's unlikely that the next batch will be the same "dye lot". If consistency is going to be vital for your project please bear this in mind.
