Thistle Handwoven Silk Scarf

Made with the finest silk yarns, this handwoven Thistle scarf has a hand-dyed warp in a double waterfall design. In varying shades of azure, turquoise and violet, the warp is crossed with a clear turquoise coloured hand-dyed fine silk weft.  Using a dip-dyed technique for the background merging one colour into the next in streaks and a resist technique for the double waterfall panels, allowing colours to remain distinct in some areas and to merge in others, an unrepeatable complexity of tones is achieved. 
 
This piece, made from 100% silk at 40 ends (threads) per inch, is individually designed and has been exquisitely woven on a traditional 8 shaft floor loom, resulting in a soft, luxurious, sumptuously coloured silk textile. Every scarf is finished with hand hemstitching, a fringe and a “Jaine Mahon” label.
 
Your scarf will be a unique work of art. It will be beautifully packaged in a “Jaine Mahon Handwoven Silk from Skye” gift box and sent first class. As with every precious purchase, the package will need to be signed for.
