Thai Silk Scarf

Pistachio and straw tones tied in a tidy knot, sheer as pond water

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. Knotted at the neck, the cloth is a pale olive-green with lighter yellowish patches, with a thin, glossy, softly crumpled body. The ends are rounded at the corners with sparse threads hanging down.

Light on its feet and easy on the eye.
