25 & 50 yd will come twisted in a skein and tagged. On the 100 yd skeins, they will still have separation threads from the dyeing process left on to keep the skein from tangling up, they won't be tagged.

The base thread is 6-stranded mulberry silk. Each skein is unique as it is hand dyed. This is ready to ship.

I use procion fiber reactive dye and acid dye, which are permanent and colorfast dyes. I soak and rinse my thread twice and then wash with a commercial detergent. Most thread should be colorfast.

Please keep in mind that very dark colors may have residual dye left after washing. To check the colorfastness, please soak a small piece in cool water and your soap preference (I recommend either dawn or orvus ) before stitching if you're worried. I have no control over which soaps are used so colorfastness is not guaranteed.
