ORIGINAL ECO-PRINT, HAND-DYED SILK SCARF
This scarf Rose Botanicals was created as part of an eco-dye demonstration.
Process: First, the scarf is dyed a soft Blushing Rose hue using cutch and madder root. It then undergoes an Eco-Dyeing process where iris and dahlia flowers are delicately placed on the silk, rolled up, and steamed, creating soft floral imprints.
Each scarf comes in a handmade 100% silk organza bag, ready for gifting.
Machine hemmed. This scarf is lightly ironed and some wrinkles remain.
CARE / Hand washing is preferred, but you can wash in the washing machine in a mesh bag. Be sure to use chemical-free, pH-neutral laundry soap (we use Seventh Generation), as harsh chemical detergents can alter natural hues. Wash on a cold and gentle cycle.
Keep your silk scarf looking its best longer by paying attention to how you dry it! After washing, delicately squeeze out water without twisting or wringing. To absorb remaining moisture, roll it in a towel and press out extra water, then lay it flat or hang it to dry for optimal results; alternatively, putting it on low heat setting in the dryer will quickly dry your silk- just be sure not to over-dry as shrinkage may occur. For perfect drying each time, try tumbling on low heat, 10 minutes at a time, checking every interval until it's just done - this will avoid wrinkles with no need for ironing afterward! If ironing is needed, use the silk setting on your iron or medium heat and iron on the back side of the silk (the side with the Silk & Willow logo).
