This summery shawl is woven using two colours of silk noil. The interaction of the navy and lime green gives and almost 3 dimensional effect known as log cabin. The silk noil is a soft, velvety yarn made from the short pieces of silk fibre which remain after it's shinier cousins, tussah and mulberry silk, are spun. It has all the lightness and drape you'd expect from silk but in a matt finish
The scarf is 33cm wide and 168cm long, including a 9cm fringe at either end so not super long but plenty for a summer's evening
With all natural fibres and some strong colours, I suggest handwashing your scarf should it get grubby.
Each of one of my handwoven scarves is finished with a sustainable cork tag and comes in a cotton drawstring bag to keep it safe
