Blue Gray Mist Bias-Cut Hand-Dyed Silk Ribbon

Description

Blue gray mist silk ribbon
Hand-dyed
Bias-cut, so your yardage will include seams
Raw edge (may fray with handling)
100% silk
WASH BEFORE USE (if ribbon will be exposed to water in any form) to prevent transference of dye. For a dry use application, this is not relevant as there is minimal dye left over. The bleeding that happen with this silk can be prevented by gentle hand-washing (really no more than a light soak in a bowl of water) of the length you intend to work with. No cleaning agent or setting agent is necessary; the dye has already bonded with the silk fibers. Any excess dye just needs to be rinsed away. After rinsing you can squeeze the water out, lay the silk flat on a towel to dry and then iron flat if you prefer to avoid wrinkles. We don’t recommend hanging the silk to dry as it will stretch and may become narrower than you want.
