Belle Soie Silks Presenting Crescent Colours' 12-ply spun silk hand-dyeds!!! Just open this bag of silk... *touch* all of it... *breathe* about the colors... run your fingers along the 12-stranded spun silk threads... arrange and re-arrange them in color family order... THEN think about stitching with it!!! I am so impressed with all of these! Lovely 5-yard skeins of continuous length silk... Sharon Crescent has done a wonderful job of dying monochromatic colors.
