65 Roses colorways in Harmony
Inspired by actual roses, 65 Roses colorways are limited editions—only blooming once! And new ones will bloom each season. “65 Roses” is a term often used by young children with cystic fibrosis to pronounce the name of their disease. Treenway Silks donates a minimum 10% of sales in honor of Andrea’s angels to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis (CF). Since developing the 65 Roses colorways in 2017, Treenway Silks has donated $500. They hope to double that amount in 2018. The 65 Roses colorways began with ribbons and has expanded to include Harmony, Treenway Silks’ 6-strand silk floss. Free with any purchase of 65 Roses Harmony silk floss, comes “A Rose by Any Other Name” by Claire Hupin-Foreman. Contact Treenway Silks.
