Olive Silk Singles — Hand-Dyed 3.5 oz

Two big unlabeled hand-dyed olive-green silk single skeins, brought in as a destash pair. The green is a moss-and-fern shade with a softer, slightly matte hand — not the high-gloss sheen of a worsted-twist mulberry, more the gentler lustre of a soft-spun silk single. The dye sits beautifully in the silk, light catching with that quiet underwater shimmer silk does.

No band, no brand tag. The skeins arrived unlabeled — someone's beautifully hand-dyed silk single that left its studio long enough ago to lose its band. What you can see: it is silk (the drape, the lustre, the way the dye sinks in), and it is one hand-painted colour across two matched skeins.

Specs.

• Per-skein weight: ~3.5 oz 
• Weight class: fingering — silk singles read slightly heavier than a wool fingering, behave like a light sport in fabric
• Fibre: silk (single ply, soft-twist; matte character — likely a tussah or noil-cut mulberry)
• Colourway: Olive / moss — hand-dyed, gently variegated
• Skeins available: 2 in stock — buy one or both
• Care: hand-wash cool with a silk-safe wash, lay flat to dry; never wring

Lovely for: a single skein covers a generous silk scarf, a knit-or-woven plaid band, a luxurious silk hat lining, or a small woven panel; both skeins together cover a flowing summer-weight shawl or a gauzy silk top. Held double, the moss colour becomes denser and the matte hand picks up a quiet halo.

Condition. Excellent. Both skeins clean, hand-tied, intact. Stored in the cabinet between intake and listing.

Destash, twice-owned. Hand-dyed silk single, no band — pattern math is your call.
