Silk Workers Notebook represents the culmination of Cheryl Kolander’s lifetime of experience working with silk as a professional textile artist and a Master Natural Dyer. Her customers have used Aurora Silk yarns and thread to restore antiques and Oriental carpets, as well as recreate artifacts which would have been dyed using natural dyes. She creates custom colors based on her customers’ needs, such as the over 20 colors she created for Judy Chicago’s Holocaust Tapestry project as well as for a rode for the Dalai Lama.
