Thai Silk Scarf

Sand on the left and bark brown on the right, with a smudge in between

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. Folded neatly, the cloth begins as pale tan and deepens over a soft gradient into a dark taupe-brown on the right. Thin horizontal slubs show through the weave. A fringe of sparse, thin gray-brown threads hangs below.
