Thai Silk Scarf

Straw-colored cloth with one sun-warmed patch, as though it fell asleep in a window

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 cream-gold ground with a deeper honey tone washing across the left side. The weave is slightly slubby and soft looking. Folded, with a thin tan fringe of twisted, uneven cords hanging along the lower end. It measures 62 by 30 inches.

A gentle blush of gold, no dye pot drama required.
