Thai Silk Scarf

Pale celadon edges with a dusty rose blush through the center, like a watercolor left in the rain

This scarf is from Thailand. It is silk. Thailand has a long tradition of hand-weaving silk, and its scarves and shawls are often valued for their depth of color. Shown flat, the cloth is pale greenish cream at the sides and a muted mauve-pink across the middle, with soft vertical blending between. Slubby horizontal threads give the surface a rough hand. Thin, straggly fringe trails from the bottom.

Blurry in the best way, as though painted wet.
