Inspired by the soothing colors of an auttumn wetland paddle, Purple Sedge is a colorway that combines variegated greens, rich golds and surprising purples. Carefully hand dyed, this velvet (devore) scarf is 14 x 72 inches with glistening fringe.
Velvet burn out scarves are lush and sumptuous. The velvet patterning takes dyes beautifully and has a gorgeous shimmer in the light. The negative space where velvet has been removed ("burned out") and the back side of the fabric is soft, matte and translucent. The long fringe also shimmers and swings as you move. I take care to apply the dyes in a way that leads to smooth transitions from one color to another order and allows for maximum color saturation
All of my scarves are hand dyed in my studio in far Upstate NY. Within the US, I ship scarves in a tyvek Priority mail envelope, safely held between two sides of a unassembled gift box so that it is ready for gifting right away. International orders are also shipped ready for gifting. I use tyvek envelopes and a mylar liner to keep everything fresh and clean during shipping.
Hand wash in cool water, drip dry, medium iron using a plush towel as a pressing cloth to fluff up the velevt. Expect some color in the wash water the first few times you wash it. I recommend using either a silk/wool detergent or your favorite shampoo - silk and human hair are both protein fibers. Beware kittens and chlorine. Made of a Rayon Silk blend.
