This 100% silk long scarf measuring 170 cm x 45 cm has an unusual design and is individually hand dyed and crafted by cottage industries in Kashmir. The design pays homage to India's most famous painters and the vibrant colour palettes that define their art. Made from 100% silk, it is softer, rounder, finer and smoother than raw silk harvested from the wild. The tiny natural irregularities in the weave and yarn add interest and character to the scarf. Our rainbow palette scarves have a smooth, silky, luxurious feel. You will not find them under any other brand. They are spun and woven by artisan workers on hand looms and hand dyed to form stripes in brilliant complementary and contrasting colours. This classic accessory complements all formal or casual wear. The palette of complementary colours in each scarf makes it a versatile match for many different outfits. Momme (mm) is a measure of the weight of silk fabric using the scale 1 momme to 3.75 grams per square meter. In comparison Traditional silk scarves typically use silk between 6 and 10 momme, our Classic scarves between 8 and 25 momme, and our Heritage scarves above 25 momme. Your scarf is supplied with FREE gift-wrap in attractive ivory tissue and presentational frosted bag along with a FREE message service. Warm to wear and easy care. Your scarf or stole should not require frequent cleaning. If you wish to freshen your item, dry clean it or gently hand wash the whole garment in cool soapy water. Never rub the fibres and always dry flat away from direct heat. When required use a cool iron.
