Thai Silk Scarf

Olive-gold cloth with a rough, slubby weave and the casual swagger of burlap in evening wear

This scarf is from Thailand. It is silk. Silk takes dye deeply, which gives hand-woven scarves their saturated, slightly iridescent tones. Mustard olive ground with a nubby, uneven texture, thread irregularities running in fine horizontal lines. Laid flat and folded, it shows tidy hemmed sides. A scruffy fringe in matching olive hangs from the bottom edge.

Texture does all the talking here, and it talks plenty.
