They cast no shadow. They can't reflect in the mirror. They avoid sunlight and hunt at night. They have super strength and a hypnotic, sensual effect on their victims. It is said that some may even have the ability to morph into a bat or a wolf...this sexy hue straddles the line between deep espresso brown and a very dark plum! She looks equally stunning both in broad daylight and in the dark of the night, has the ability to transform into a beautiful piece of sewing art, and hypnotizes all who come near!

carmilla
|
(2)
|
|
|
An ominous pairing of the deepest maroon you can imagine with onyx black!
Before there was Bram Stoker’s Dracula, (and Castlevania’s villainess by the same name), there was “Carmilla,” an 1872 Gothic novella by Irish author Sheridan Le Fanu that was arguably the earliest work of vampire fiction, steeped in sexual tension and gothic romance. In an isolated castle deep in the Styrian forest, Laura leads a solitary life with only her elderly father for company - until one moonlit night, a horse-drawn carriage crashes into view, carrying an unexpected guest: the beautiful Carmilla. So begins a feverish friendship between Laura and her mysterious, entrancing companion…but as Carmilla becomes increasingly strange and volatile, prone to eerie nocturnal wanderings, Laura finds herself tormented by nightmares and grows weaker by the day…

mucha
|
(1)
|
|
|
An incredible luminous copper-and-brown alloy that absolutely glitters!!
With this stunning silk, we’ve chosen to honor the Czech artist, painter, and illustrator Alphonse Mucha! Unfamiliar with his work? Take a look at the accompanying reference photos and you’ll see why it makes perfect sense! Mucha lived in Paris during the Art Nouveau period and is best known for his distinctly stylized and decorative theatrical posters. His style was organic and ornate, graceful and dynamic, with curving, swooping lines and Byzantine borders, lettering, and frames. His iconic 'Mucha woman' had curves, flowing hair, pastel robes, and often a halo of light or flowers, which recalled the halos from religious iconography he was exposed to from a young age.

apricity
|
|
Apricity articulates the concept of the warmth of the sun on a cold winter day. It is a beautiful and poetic term for that feeling when the sun's rays touch your skin, bringing a sense of coziness and contentment. It is a reminder that even in the coldest of times, there is always the potential for warmth...
Similarly, this high-contrast silk dupioni fabric captures the essence of apricity. Created from a shimmery off-white and a medium earthy brown, it brings to mind the warmth of the sun's rays as they illuminate the earth. The fabric's interplay of light and dark, of warm and cool tones, is reminiscent of the changing seasons and the way that even in the depths of winter, there is always the promise of spring.

This culinary-inspired dupioni is an enchanting blend of dark rust and deep black that captures the very essence of mesquite’s exquisite flavor profile. Much like a perfectly smoked brisket, this luxurious fabric exudes richness and warmth, making it the ideal choice for creating opulent home décor, elegant attire, or any project deserving of a colorful touch of savory magic! Whether in the kitchen or in your creative space, let Mesquite elevate your surroundings to a level of sensory delight you'll savor for years to come. Buon appetito, and happy crafting!

SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS are known for their rich, earthy brown caps and slightly lighter gills, often with a touch of black around the edges. They are prized for their umami flavor and meaty texture, making them a popular ingredient in a variety of cuisines. Symbolically, the shiitake mushroom is associated with longevity and health, and is frequently used in traditional medicine for its immune-boosting properties.

hearthstone
|
|
What comfort there is in the flickering glow of the HEARTHSTONE, where shadows dance and the fire’s warmth cradles the weary heart like the embrace of some long-forgotten friend. Time seems to slow, as the crackling logs sing their ancient, soothing song, coaxing forth the dreams and stories of those gathered close, with cheeks flushed and spirits lightened by the glow. It is in such humble moments that the soul is nurtured, and the burdens of the day fly away like embers, leaving only the lingering warmth of a golden love.
This dupioni, with interwoven threads of sesame and scarlet, shimmers like the very light of the hearth itself, where warmth and fire blend to form a glowing tapestry that both soothes and kindles the soul…
