Thai Silk Scarf

Buttery yellow melting into a smoky gray, a sunset that never quite finished

This scarf is from Thailand. It is silk. Thailand has a long tradition of hand-weaving silk, and its scarves and shawls are often valued for their depth of color. Its left half is pale butter yellow, shading gradually into brown-gray on the right. A faint horizontal slub shows across the weave. Folded and slightly rumpled. Short, thin fringe of tan cords hangs unevenly at the bottom. It is 66 by 31 inches overall.

A slow fade, done by someone with patience.
