Logwood Purple Handwoven Linen Shawl
Native to Mexico and Central America, and used by the Maya and Aztec peoples, the Logwood tree yields gorgeous shades of purple with a red undertone. In the 16th century, the Spanish brought back the wood to Europe and it was used extensively in their dye houses. The dye can change color by adjusting the pH of the dyebath, giving lots opportunity for different hues.
The fabric is a light weight handwoven linen. I had the shawls woven by fair trade artisans on handlooms in Bhubaneswar, India. It is very comfortable to wear and is washable. The shawl has a lovely drape. It’s a great summer shawl, for cruises, and wedding attire.
Dimensions: 86” by 37”, not including the fringe.
