Canyon Sunset Silk Ribbon

Canyon Sunset evokes the gradations of evening's last light reflecting off the canyon walls. A rich vibrant apricot-coral color that mimics the coral sandstone hue.

Created from the natural dye Ceriops tagal.

Ceriops tagal, a mangrove tree species, is a vital tree in coastal ecosystems. Mangroves are under tremendous environmental stress from herbicides, runoff, and clear-cutting groves for aquaculture. Ceriops tagal is considered a precious dye sourced from Botanical Colors in collaboration with Threads of Life, who acquired this extract from Indonesia's only mangrove ecosystem to be Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified for environmental management and protection. The bark used to create this dye is a by-product of forest management and is used by the concession to increase incomes for people living around the forest.

Paired with Canyon Sunset {Ethereal}, Botanical Print Satin No. 3, and Coco Rose.

Each batch varies. 

Sample Swatches are a 9-inch length sample of our 1.5-inch width ribbon.

Plant Dyes are more subtle and complex than those created by synthetic dyes. You are purchasing a "living color" that is unique and one-of-a-kind. While each lot of color is dyed in the same manner, with the same plant materials, slight variations & unique characteristics will make each ribbon special. Each ribbon is wound on a antique style wooden spool. 100% Habutai Silk Bias Ribbon. Silk weight 12mm.
