Thai Silk Scarf

Greenish-gold cloth with a soft sheen and a creased center, wrinkled but well mannered

This scarf is from Thailand. It is silk. Hand-woven Thai silk scarves are generally made on small looms, with silk reeled from cocoons and dyed in saturated color. Pale olive-tan ground with faint cream horizontal lines and a few darker flecks. A vertical crease runs down the middle and a soft sheen shows on the surface. Scraggly threads hang from the lower edge, some long.

Plain, shiny, and perfectly at home in its own wrinkles.
