Blue Woven Striped Silk fabric-cotton and appropriate for 1812Blue Woven Striped Silk features a beautifully arranged pattern of dusky blue, red, cream, and sand, all woven into a tidy, repeating stripe. The surface has a smooth, crisp hand with a light sheen that brings clarity to each color without making the pattern feel too bold.
