Blue'nGold
This is a double duty piece, working as both a scarf & a belt! Pure Charmeuse weave silk, hand dyed with plant matter. Charmeuse silk is a muted crepe on the back side & a lustrous satin on the top side; more substantial with a luxuriously heavy drape.
This is a unique product, original & one of a kind; a special gift for you.
Naturally dyeing silk with plant matter requires more time and patience than using synthetic silk dye. It takes 12 hours just to clean & prep the silk to take natural dye, Then at least 2 hours in a dye vat per colour while playing around with resist binding in between colours. It's always worth the time when experiencing the thrill of unveiling the final result!
DETAILS:
- 5 x 72 inches
- Hand Rolled Edges
- 100% Charmeuse Silk
Gently hand wash using cold water and mild, ph neutral soap if necessary. Do not soak. Hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Iron with silk (low) setting.
