Silk and Cotton Scarf Plant Dyed with Madder Root

$60.00

Madder Root gives many colors from brilliant red to a dark brown. This soft peach pink hue is due to the exhaust bath of a strong madder dye pot. Since plant dyestuffs are expensive, dyers reuse the dye pot to create softer colors and tints,

The mix of silk and cotton creates a texture for a more casual look. The scarf is long and can be worn as a shawl too. The best way to care for it is to hand wash in cool water and hang to dry. Washing creates more texture due to the nature of silk and cotton. They shrink differently in water. You may iron it if you want less texture on a silk setting.

80” Long, 22” Wide
