May Arts offers an undyed option for dyeing your own colors. Silk thread naturally appears white. The difference between SK-00 and SK-01 is that actual white dye was applied to the SK-01, giving it more sheen.
Please take note that due to the hand-dyed nature of our silk ribbons, color can and does vary between batches. Each ribbon is dyed to a corresponding Pantone textile code inspiration (Pantone textile codes are different than the PMS for printing on ink and paper), but due to the nature of the organic fabric environmental factors can affect the dyeing process in different ways. We make every effort to keep our colors within acceptable shade variations to their Pantone textile inspiration. While we do send samples of silk ribbon, please note that our silk is in very high demand so new shipments are always coming in where dye lots can vary. If you wish to know the corresponding inspiration Pantone textile code for any color please email [email protected]. We upload new individual SKU pictures of our silk when a new batch with differing dye lot comes in so you can see any color changes. The individual SKU pictures are the best reference of current inventory.
