Sari Silk Yarn and Ribbon
Caring for your silk: Silk is a delicate fabric and should be handled with care. However, it is fairly easy to clean. It has a naturally tendency to release dirt quickly and does not always require dry cleaning to keep its quality. Please visit this web site for washing instructions:
These colors are sold to me as being fast dyed. I have found that this is not always true. Since I cannot control the conditions of use, washing, cleaning or pressing the purchaser should sure assure them self by testing that the dye fastness of the yarn is suitable for their intended use. It is recommended that silk be washed in cold water using a dye catcher cloth.

During the making of Sarees here in India there is a lot of small finer threads that are left over from the looms which are collected together and are of different colors.
