Soft, shiny, with lots of beautiful texture from the Sari Silk.
Beloved by Monet to create shadows in his paintings this pigment was originally known as Nurnberg Violet, it was created in 1866 by E. Leykeuf. It's very light-fast and as a result is a pigment still in use today in modern art. It's also used in cosmetics, particularly in eyeshadows and lipsticks.
Colour Description- Royal purple with black streaks.
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.

All these fibres, with the exception of the recycled sari silk have been professionally dyed to Okeo-Tex 100 certification. Sari silk can sometimes be prone to colour bleeding, caution is advised on the first wash.
