yellowjacket
 
A deadly fusion of yellow gold, espresso brown, and onyx black named after the beautiful-but-aggressive insect!

Although their yellow-and-black stripes are similar to those of bees, yellowjackets are *not* bees. Rather, they are wasps, and differ from bees in a number of ways: first, the bodies of bees are fuzzier and rounder in shape, while yellowjackets are smoother and sleeker. Next, unlike bees, which have stingers with pronounced barbs and can sting only once before dying, yellowjackets are equipped with lance-like stingers that are capable of delivering multiple stings. Third, yellowjackets are predatory and consume other insects. Lastly, most bee species are significantly less aggressive than yellowjackets, which can sting you at the slightest provocation.

2-ply hand-made dupioni is 1.5x the weight and twice the thickness of our standard dupioni! That means it's not only eye-popping, it's extra-strong and durable as well!

our price:$30.00

5 of 5 Beautiful silk January 23, 2023
Reviewer: Liora Anstandig from Kansas City, MO United States  
I was not ready for the beautiful sill that Silk Baron was showing me in a recent email. I knew from experience that if I loved it, then I better get some before it is gone. And since I ordered it before the next new color was introduced, there was free shipping.
It cam quickly and is stunning.
