It is said that some may even have the ability to morph into a bat or a wolf...this sexy hue straddles the line between deep espresso brown and a very dark plum! She looks equally stunning both in broad daylight and in the dark of the night, has the ability to transform into a beautiful piece of sewing art, and hypnotizes all who come near!

Themis was the Greek goddess of justice, wisdom, and good counsel, and is often represented as a woman of sober appearance carrying a pair of scales. Similarly neutral, this beautiful silk is a desaturated mauve-and-light gray pairing that is gently feminine, and even edges toward a nude color under certain light. Uniquely nuanced and subtle, she's a hue unlike any you've seen before!
