Beautiful pure silk scarf, made of 8 mm mulberry silk and finished with hand rolled hems.
Unique and authentic hand dyed silk scarf. Naturally dyed in rich blue colour achieved by multiple dips in indigo leaf extract to allow for the gradual build up of colour.
We work from our art studio on the South Coast of England surrounded by our home garden where we grow harvested or gather a broad variety of plants which we prepare following traditional methods to obtain the powerful botanical dyes.
It is 100% natural and free of chemicals that are used in the mass produced textile industry, making it safe for the environment and for the health of your skin.
As opposite to chemically dyed factory produced flat colours, plant dyed colours are alive with their unique vibration. Some colour variations can be a common features of hand dyed pieces, these are considered desirable characteristics and are valued marks of handmade cloth.
As with all hand dyed fabric, there will be slightly different tones and variations in each unique piece.
To take care, hand wash in cool water using mild soap and dry naturally. Can be ironed on a low heat for a satin silk feel, although we prefer the authentic crinkled lookl when it has been dried naturally.
