Thai Silk Scarf

Golden ochre at the left edge fading through taupe to cream, with a sturdy center crease

This scarf is from Thailand. It is silk. Hand-woven Thai silk scarves are generally made on small looms, with silk reeled from cocoons and dyed in saturated color. Deep ochre-gold band at the left fades into a soft gray-taupe and then pale cream toward the right. Two creases cross at the center. Fine slubs run horizontally. A scraggly fringe of tan threads hangs below.

Sunset on one side, fog on the way out.
