Today in the dye pots....I am starting to work up tri-color rainbows onto 3 yard 5mm veils. The 5mm designation refers to the weight of the silk. 5 mm is a dreamy, floaty cobweb...light as a feather. It ripples and floats effortlessly with the color shimmering and catching the light. I love these veils for dance...the color on this weight of silk is more ethereal than on the heavier mm's giving an aura of mystery.
Did you know that a 3 yard veil is also perfect for wearing as a shawl? Just the right amount of coverage when the summer evenings cool down. Large and drapey, it can be worn in a variety of ways.
It is cool and cloudy on the coast today...perfect weather for a full day in the dye studio with my Essential Women in Blues cds, my rainbows of color, and a lovely pot of Peru organic coffee!
What gorgeous colors!
