Natural materials may have slight variations which are not considered defects:
Undyed wool varies in color from white to black in all shades of brown and grey. Wool is sorted by color before it is spun into yarn, but slight variation is unavoidable. This variation is most noticeable when the wool is undyed, but it also marginally effects the color of dyed yarn.
Jute, seagrass, sisal, and rattan vary in color depending on the season of the harvest. This variation is visible in both undyed and dyed yarn. Since no two animals have exactly the same markings or coloration, every product made with hair on hide, leather, or sheepskin will have natural variation in shape, markings, and color.
Wood, mother of pearl, and shell display natural grains and colorations that result from the growth patterns of each individual organism. Any product made with these materials will be unique from piece to piece.
Marble, geodes, and stone are geological structures with distinctive veining/banding that result from thousands of years of natural formation. Any product made with these materials will be unique from piece to piece.
Recycled silk and sari silk are scraps of fabric (usually excess from the garment industry) which are sorted by color family. There will be significant color variation from piece to piece depending on the fabrics available at the time of manufacture.
