Thai Silk Scarf

Dark umber fades into a pale champagne field with a few yellow blushes.

This scarf is from Thailand. It is silk. Silk takes dye deeply, which gives hand-woven scarves their saturated, slightly iridescent tones. The left edge starts as deep brown, then bleeds into ivory and a pale greenish cream. Faint yellow clouds sit near the lower center. Fine slubs run horizontally, and thin knotted fringe edges the fold.

Night on one side, morning on the other.
