The warp is 100% hand dyed rose silk, with natty noil silk weft. The piece is woven in a 6 shaft crackle. It is soft and floppy, with no need to break in. This fiber combination is cozy, with lots of delicious texture, and plenty of cush and bounce. It is of medium thickness and density, with a generous amount of diagonal stretch. It locks into place and the silk gives it perfect strength to pair with the softness. Both warp and weft have gorgeous silky nubs.
