The card is Aluminum, Boulder, Brass, Brushed Steel, Buff, Burgundy, Candlestick, Caramel plus 45 more; Alendel files them under grey, brown, beige, red, green and blue. 52 of the 53 flagged in stock by Alendel. It sits in Alendel's Pure Book.

At 54 in it is cut up the roll like a conventional drapery cloth: a panel joins widths at the seam, which sits inside a pleat, and a Roman shade takes one width up to roughly 50 inches finished before it needs a joined width. Silk is the sheen and the drape; sun is its enemy, so we line and interline it and keep it off unshaded west glass. Alendel lists the weight at 0.28 lb per yard, light for a silk. Care is S (dry clean, or spot clean with a dry-cleaning solvent); Alendel's own line reads: dry clean only. Alendel lists no fire test for it, so it is a residential cloth unless a treated lining or a certificate is arranged for the project. Country of origin, as Alendel lists it: India.
