Thai Silk Scarf

Crumpled in pale lemon and gray, like tissue paper after a good party

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. The cloth hangs flat with a crushed, crinkled surface. Pale lemon-cream shades into gray-green toward the bottom, with soft vertical streaks. A fine, thin fringe of dark threads shows along the lower edge. The piece is 14.5 by 64 inches.

Delicate looking, though plainly not shy about creases.
