Japanese Barberry Yellow Hand Dyed Handwoven Linen Scarf
The Japanese barberry shrub is a very invasive species and is banned for import in the United States. I purchased the dried leaves from a Japanese supplier. When extracting the dye from the leaves by soaking and simmering them, a brillant yellow dye emerges. I dyed a lightweight linen scarf with it.
The fabric is a light weight handwoven linen. I had the linen scarves 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: 68” long, 15” wide , not including the fringe.
100% Linen
Wash in cool water, hang to dry, may be ironed
