OSHYSZSX - Hong Yunsha tussah silk fabric, nature plant dyed 70 momme slubby twill, red brown 95cm wide by the yard

Hong Yunsha is a traditional silk fabric dyed using Dioscorea cirrhosa (Shu Liang), a plant that contains high levels of natural tannins. Made from premium mulberry silk, the fabric is colored through repeated immersion in plant dye extract followed by natural sun exposure. This gradual process develops layered tones reminiscent of morning clouds—soft amber, muted rose, and light terracotta—giving the fabric its name Hong Yunsha. With additional dyeing cycles, it can further present richer earth-inspired shades such as warm brown and rosewood.

The dyeing technique typically involves 10–30 cycles of dyeing and sun drying. Each layer deepens the color while retaining the silk’s airy and lightweight qualities. The finished fabric displays a subtle matte sheen. A faint botanical scent may remain initially but fades over time. As a fully plant-dyed textile, Hong Yunsha is eco-friendly and free from chemical additives.
