One of the many things I love about this silk wrap is how versatile it is. Look through all the various pictures to see how many looks you get from simply styling it in different ways. This luxurious one of a kind silk noil wrap has been ecoprinted with heuchera, oxalis, smokebush, geranium, coreopsis, and accented with logwood and tara natural dyes. This unique wrap, #523, has raw edges with a slight natural fringe to enhance its natural beauty.

Ecoprinting uses natural dyes from locally sourced plants to create extraordinary color, pattern, and texture on natural fibers such as silk, linen, cotton, and wool. The plants are tightly bound into pre-mordanted (enables the dye color to adhere) cloth and steamed, creating a permanent transfer of form and pigment from the plants to the fiber. The cloth is then dried, cured, washed and ironed.

The process is highly variable. At different seasons of the year, different pigments may concentrate in various plant parts to create color variability. Results vary according to plant season, plant part used, processing time, local water type, mordant, fiber type, etc. An experimental attitude is required;)

Fiber content: Silk noil otherwise known as raw silk. It has a nubby texture and soft gentle drape.
Measurements: 84 inches long by 27 inches wide.

Hand wash in cool water with mild pH neutral soap and lay flat to dry. Wear crinkled, or lightly iron at silk setting.
