Thai Silk Scarf

Raspberry-pink cloth, finely ribbed and edged in brown, folded thick and tidy

This scarf is from Thailand. It is silk. Silk takes dye deeply, which gives hand-woven scarves their saturated, slightly iridescent tones. Folded in layers, the cloth shows a closely ribbed weave in dusty raspberry pink, shading to brown at the right edge. Fine horizontal texture lines are visible. Fringe of pink and brown threads hangs from the lower end.

Pink with a backbone, and a brown trim to prove it.
