A Rainbow of Velvet

Rose’s favorite item in the store has been her hand-dyed velvet scarves.  She dyes them herself, with cold-water dyes in the summer months.  There are solid velvet scarves, and devore´patterned scarves, all made from a rayon/silk combination woven velvet.  They can be hand-washed, but best line dried, as the ones with fringe are a nuisance to untangle.

The hand-dyeing process is time consuming and labor intensive, so we don’t have many of these to sell at any one time.  Email for color/style availability.  They all measure 9″ x 54″, some with 4″ fringe.

There are also some silk satin devore scarves for sale too, these are lighter weight, more suitable for summer.

Solid and Patterned Scarves

Minky Baby Blankets

Rose has been making baby blankets forever.  Lately she found this fabulously silky and soft new fabric called “Minky” which is NOT made from actual pastel-dyed minks.  It’s heat-set 100% polyester velvet knit in a myriad of colors and patterns.  She makes small, receiving blanket size baby blankets that are the ultimate newborn gift.  They’re popular with other small kids too, and even adults.  They sell for $40. each.

For adults, she started making Minky Scarves:

The colors vary, but they are all mostly about 50″ long, and 6″ or 7″ wide.  They are WARM!  Not for tropical climates or mild winter areas. But great for the true winter cold.  Easy care – wash warm, but dry on LOW to keep those cute roses intact.

Discharge Dyed Teeshirt

Discharge Dyed Teeshirt

Rose made several discharge dyed (bleach tie-dye) men’s teeshirts, in childrens and adult sizes for sale in the summer season.  We have several of these items, in a range of sizes.  Most of them are black shirts, but a few of the kid’s shirts are red or blue.  Some say “Point Roberts”, in the logo that George designed that looks like our peninsula.  Most are without a logo.  Sizes ranged from baby (2/4) to big guy 3x.  Contact us for more information.
