Incredibly soft, delicate, and drapey... Pure luxury! Its naturally soft caramel beige color is stunning on its own, and when used as a dye, it will enhance colors with fine speckles, those with a natural base, allowing the natural color to show through. It would be a shame to mask it with overly dense or dark colors, but ultimately, its softness might tempt you, whatever the color. Keep in mind, however, that the base color will slightly darken the other colors, giving them a warmer tone.

When used as a dye, it absorbs colors gently and blends them rather than separating them, resulting in a more "melted" rather than contrasting appearance.
