Thai Silk Scarf

Mossy olive-brown cloth, crumpled and dim, like a forest floor after rain

This scarf is from Thailand. It is silk. Thai silk is known for its slightly uneven, nubby texture and for color that seems to shift as the cloth moves. Dark olive-brown ground with a slightly mottled surface that lightens to khaki at the top. Fine creases cross the cloth. Horizontal slubs and a faint pale line near the upper edge. Wispy fringe in tan threads hangs below.

Moody, mossy, and not wanting to be ironed.
