Article: About Aurora Silk's Symphonic Black

Aurora Silk’s Symphonic Black is double-dyed with more than equal of its weight in logwood from the Logwood Project, using only iron as a mordant (no chrome). With a 12-step process that takes a week to dye, this colour is exemplary of a Master Dyer’s art.

The Logwood Project is a joint venture for replanting of Logwood trees in the Caribbean. People can contribute to the goodwill effort by purchasing this special "Symphonic Black".

Symphonic Black is so sparkly bright on the tussah that it is like starry night sky. It comes out a blue black, and the yarn is thickened by the 8-step dye process that usually takes a week.
