I am currently selling seven kinds of silk: Crepe Backed Silk Satin-Charmeuse, Dupion, Raw Silk, Habotai or China Silk, Chiffon, Organza, and Silk Gauze.  Silk is a natural fiber that can have unique variations from yard to yard.  This is typical of this elegant fabric and not to be considered a flaw or defect.  Shades may vary slightly between dyelots.
