755-9 Deep Lilac

This is a beautiful purple, a bit muted, which feels like a combination of blue and pink, even in the parts which are clearly purple. This color is not as level as most, although this shade is more level than the paler ones, so there are bluer areas and pinker areas in the yarn. Normally, this might be considered a flaw, but the shading is just too pretty to call it flawed. Color number 755-9, part of the Lilac color family.

100% organically-grown silk, hand-dyed in California.

Color may vary depending on photographic lighting conditions, color representation on computer monitors and dyelot variations. Shown in Bombyx Six.

Available in 100 gram balls; and 8 yard pull skeins, 20 yard pull skeins or 100 yard spools, depending on yarn style. See the About Our Yarns page for full technical details about each yarn style.

In size order, available sizes include:

Bombyx Symphony (140/2*20) Forty tiny strands of luxurious silk, wound around each other and around again, making a veritable symphony of silk.

Bombyx Six (54/2*6) Six pairs of plies make for a light, fluffy yarn, or can be separated for exact coverage in embroidery applications.

Bombyx Unity (18/3) Couldn’t we all use a bit more unity? A very nicely-sized three-ply yarn.

Bombyx Finer (33/3) You want something finer? This is it. A fine, but still visible yarn.

Bombyx Thread (100/3) Yes, thread. For those who enjoy weaving at the highest setts, or for use as thread in a sewing machine to hem or sew your custom-woven pieces with dyed-to-match silk thread.
