Hand Dyed Indigo Shibori Silk Wool Wrap

This hand dyed silk wool scarf was made by first dyeing the fabric with a mixture of logwood and cochineal plant dyes.  I folded the fabric accordion style and clamped the center area with metal square objects.  The metal acts as a resist to the dye, creating patterns.  The method is called “Itajime.”  The scarf was dipped in the indigo vat twice, creating the lavender squares in the  center.

I washed the wrap three times and ironed it.  It is very soft and can be worn as a wrap or scarf.

Care: Wash it in a gentle cycle or hand wash in cool water.  Hang to dry.  If you want to iron it for a smoother look, use a silk setting.

Dimensions:  60″ Long without the Fringe, 23″ Wide
