Two types of silk fabric are available here: chiffon and paj - pictured lower left and upper right, respectively. Paj (some call this china silk or habotai) is a bit heavier at 4.5 - 5 mm (depending on what is in stock) and has more sheen than the Chiffon (called gauze by some) which is typically 3mm-4 mm.
I also stock Uzbeki silk (margilan silk) and sell that in 2 yard increments (it's much harder to cut!).
Since each time I dye up a new batch I dye what colors speak to me, I no longer sell this online as I just can't keep up the website to reflect what colors are in stock. And sometimes I dye more tonal because that is what people are looking for and other times I dye more "variegated' colors. And I change with the seasons too!
So if you are interested in buying some you need to either stop by and pick it out yourself, or call and have the person working the store describe (tho' since we all see and talk about color differently, this can be a challenge) to you what is available at the time!

Gradients - ombres" is another term for these. I dye these pieces so the fabric grades from 1 color to another and then finally a third or fourth - each color completely filling the width of the fabric so you end up with bands of color and between each color, the blend of the two on each side. These take longer to dye and so are more
