Cheryl Kolander's Aurora Silk colours are filled with LIFE, BEAUTY and TRUTH. All dyes used are the finest on the planet, recipes followed have evolved thru thousands of years of use. All dyelots are unique works of Natural dye Art.
These colours are the most beautiful ever created, and certainly the most beautiful artistic media for use by any textile artist today. "I believe in the extraordinary luminosity of my art. Using these colours automatically qualifies your work as museum quality." - Cheryl, 2008 (note: many pieces woven, knit, or otherwise constructed of her colours have been displayed in museums and galleries throughout the world.)
These incredible examples of the Art of Natural dyework can only be experienced in all their love and glory in the actual 120 colour chart, with 8" samples of each colour. *
"The pictures below should just be ignored. Pay attention to the names. I will take better pictures asap. Meanwhile remember that electronics can never reproduce natural colours and that every monitor shows the colour differently. So if you have any interest at all in Natural Dyes and what is possible to be acheived on silk with all Natural Dyes, please just buy a colour chart. It is a collector's item, for who after me will dye colours like these? And all by hand and with Love?" -Cheryl
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING about the dyework I do for you: Your colour will be as close as humanly and artistically possible to my standard for that number. Expect some abrajz, that is, variegation. This is usually most characteristic of greens.
We stock a variety of needlework/weaving threads in the following 100% naturally dyed colours: silk needlework threads
* You may order a full colour chart of all 120 colours on 8" lengths of silk lustre cord: silk colour chart

Fall - (note that monitor colours do not reflect well the true hue, better pictures soon. The names, however, are excellently descriptive.) |
