Thai Silk Scarf

Plum cloth with fine pinstripes and a fringe that has clearly lived a little

This scarf is from Thailand. It is silk. Silk is prized for its drape and sheen, and a silk scarf is light enough to wear through most of the year. Plum-mauve cloth, seen close, is ruled with fine vertical lines in a warmer tone. Along the end hangs a long fringe of twisted cords knotted into tassels, some wine-red, some faded, a few frayed into soft tufts.

The tassels have opinions about staying in line.
