Thai Silk Scarf

Closely ribbed gold-tan cloth with a faint shimmer, folded thick as a well-read paperback

This scarf is from Thailand. It is silk. Silk takes dye deeply, which gives hand-woven scarves their saturated, slightly iridescent tones. Dense, finely ribbed texture in warm gold and tan, with a subtle glitter in the light. It is folded into several layers, edges squared. A lively fringe of twisted tan cords, some knotted, hangs from the bottom.

Tight weave, loose tassels, and a happy compromise.
