Thai Silk Scarf

Folded into a slim strip of toasted wheat, ends still fraying with enthusiasm

This scarf is from Thailand. It is silk. Silk takes dye deeply, which gives hand-woven scarves their saturated, slightly iridescent tones. Folded lengthwise into a narrow column, the cloth is an even golden tan with fine horizontal slubs and a gentle pale line down one side. A cluster of loose threads sticks up from the top, and small frayed ends sit at the bottom.

Keeps its shape and its secrets in equal measure.
