This scarf explores the interplay of structure and the natural character of hand-spun tussah silk. Woven using a skipped-denting technique, the open weave creates a light, airy fabric with a delicate, lace-like transparency. The hand-spun silk brings an element of unpredictability to the cloth; natural variations in the yarn’s thickness, along with occasional slubs, create subtle changes in texture. These irregularities are an inherent part of the hand-spun yarn and give the finished scarf its distinctive character.
Because of its open structure and the delicate nature of the hand-spun silk, this scarf should be worn with care. Jewelry—particularly necklaces, bracelets, and brooches—can catch on the open weave and pull or snag the silk. 10-1/2” x 68”
