Plant Dyed Brown Red Silk Cotton Blend Fabric, 114cm By the Yard

HongYunSha is one kind of the Gambiered Canton silk made with same traditional plant dye processing but no mud processing. Without the mud processing it requires more times of plant dye to give its special & natural rich red tone earth color( Chinese call it HongYunSha). That's why it is more expensive than standard Gambiered Caton silk.Due to its handmade procedure, all the fabrics will naturally have un-even dye, few black spots, white/brown marks, color stains, etc, especially on the back side of the silk. It also will have small holes, color difference and scratches on the 5cm fabric edges.

This special silk fabric is durable and easy to sew. A dream material for summer garments. I use it a lot for cozy, cool, casual summer pants. Simple washing, anti-wrinkle so do not need iron.

WASHING GUIDE ✨ for mud silk

⚬ Dry clean is best and highly recommended

⚬ Hand Wash with silk detergent or hair shampoo in lukewarm water less than 5 minutes

⚬ No soap, no bleach, no tumble dry

⚬ Though I wash my mud silk clothing in washing machine (they are fine) I don't suggest you do same

⚬ Inevitable color fading during washing due to nature plant dye without chemical treatment finishing

Care requirements vary by fiber, weave and finish. Always follow any specific instructions in the individual product description.
