sockeye
 
THE SOCKEYE SALMON may shimmer blue-green in the ocean, but flushes into a searing persimmon red when it returns upriver to spawn—a striking display of life’s final blaze. Its red body gives the fish a wild, almost mythic presence in rushing mountain streams. As a yummy steak, sockeye offers dense, ruby-red flesh marbled with fine white fat, promising a rich, flavorful depth prized by chefs and epicures alike.

This tricoloré is extra vibrant because two of its three yarns are persimmon, while the third one is a pale orange. Together, they create an unforgettable rich orange-y red!

2-ply hand-made dupioni is 1.5x the weight and twice the thickness of our standard dupioni! That means it's not only eye-popping, it's extra-strong and durable as well!

our price:$33.00

5 of 5 Simply stunning June 20, 2025
Reviewer: Michael Johnson from San Jose, CA United States  
This is one of those must-see-in-person choices.   I know in our world today we are being forced more and more to purchase fabric online…or do the swatch thing jd it seems to take forever…BUT if any aspect of this colorway clicks for you, at least buy a yard….just to hold and turn and twist and appreciate and experience what see, to be an internally light textile!   I’m so considering getting ten yards…just so I have it on my shelf…I’ll find something to do with it SOMEday…right?   This is way up there with my other favorite UBE ( electric purple)   Hmmm   Maybe I could Maine them and make a sunglasses-required outfit
