Thai Silk Scarf

Draped round a neck, two tones of honey and cream meeting at a seam

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. Looped as if worn, the cloth shows a mustard-gold half joined to a pale cream half, with a visible lengthwise seam where they meet. The surface has a soft sheen and light slubs. Short cream fringe ends each tail.

Two moods, joined by one stitched and well-kept truce.
