This scarf has been produced through a process called botanical dyeing, or eco printing. Natural leaves are pressed onto the 100% silk fabric, rolled on a pipe and steamed for several hours. The heat causes the tannins in the leaves to release and this creates a permanent, colorfast, print on the fabric. Use it as a table runner, scarf, wall hanging, and more.
This particular piece features madrone, Tree of heaven and eucalyptus leaves and measures 10.5" x 56". These scarves make thoughtful heirloom gifts and will arrive beautifully wrapped with a card for washing instructions and information about the artist and how the piece is made. These pieces ship for FREE with priority mail in the United States.
This piece can be hand washed or machine washed (delicate cycle) in regular laundry detergent (we do NOT recommend Woolite), rinsed well and hung to dry. Iron if needed.
Sharon Mansfield is the co-owner of our store, The Tin Thimble, and has been perfecting botanical dyeing for over a decade now. These exquisite table runners are made by her in her Northern California studio. You can learn more about Sharon and her book "Lasting Impressions" at www.sharonmansfield.com
**All computer monitors display color differently. I have tried to get as close as possible to the true color of the fabric but please keep this in mind when placing your order.
