Montano Series
A brilliant collection of hand-painted variegated silk threads and ribbon for your quilting, stitching and embroidery.
The result of a collaboration between internationally known fibre artist Judith Baker Montano and Treenway Silks, this seductive variety of rich, soft, vibrant and dusky colorways was created by drawing from Treenway's palette of hand–dyed colors. Color changes occur at 1½ to 2 inch intervals which produce painterly color sequences.
There are a total of 74 colorways and all colors are handpainted with care – however, some variation between dye lots can be expected.
