857-9 Dark Olive Brown

A dark shade of a difficult to categorize color. Is it green, brown, gray? Hard to say. Color number 857-9, part of the Olive Branch color family.

Please note that this dye is more variable than most, with some variation in color over the length of the yarn to be expected.

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.
