It's often called "Recycled Sari Silk Yarn", but don't let that fool you! Sari Silk Ribbon isn't actually made in the same way that traditional recycled goods are made, but rather it is derived from remnants of Sari material that is either left over from creating the full Saris, or from Saris that are no longer wearable. As opposed to throwing this material into landfills, this material is salvaged & created into something usable. Tips + Tricks Be sure to always handwash your ribbon, & lay it flat to dry! It is a natural, delicate fiber, & putting it in a washing machine and/or dryer will compromise its integrity. Also, avoid using essential oils during the wash process, as it will stain the fiber. Note: Sometimes Sari Silk Ribbon will smell when you first get it. Not to fear! This is completely normal for natural silk products. Silk has a naturally musky, earthy smell, which can be enhanced after being packed in a box & sent from India. Along with that, India has a humid climate, with plenty of rain; their monsoon season is 4 months long, & lasts from June to September! If Sari Ribbon is made & packed during a particularly humid & rainy period, the smell can intensify. If it still smells after it is dried, you can either place it out in the sun, or put it in a sealed bag with dryer sheets. If you are using Sari Ribbon for a knit or crochet project, be sure to work loosely a super tight tension will make it so much harder to work with! When woven, the ribbon has the tendency to scrunch up, & can create surprisingly dense & heavy fabric, so be more open than you normally would with another fiber! Due to its delicacy, we recommend using it as a weft yarn as opposed to a warp yarn. As you unwind your skein & begin to work with it, handle the yarn carefully, as the strips are subtly sewn together. Sari Silk Ribbon Special Mix 15 - Bundle Of 5
