Get dreamy in this inspiring wild silk scarf. The gold, rose, and blue stripes twinkle against the black background, like a starry night. Natural dyes create most of the colors in this piece, including turmeric root which gives the lustrous golden color. Handwoven zigzag patterning adds a dimension of texture and interest.
This scarf is made from 100% Borocera wild silk which is only found in Madagascar. It is completely hand-crafted (hand spun yarn, naturally dyed, and hand woven on a floor loom). The women of the Lovasoa Cooperative create each piece in their small village in the central highlands of Madagascar.
Your purchase directly helps a weaver in this cooperative support her family. It also preserves the cultural tradition of silk weaving in Madagascar.
Each piece comes with a lovely tag that tells the story of the silk and has washing instructions.
Washing instructions: Dry cleaning is recommended. Steam iron to refresh without washing, on a low temperature setting.
