Silk / Merino Wool Eco-Printed Scarf - Multiple Colorways

80% Silk, 20% Merino Wool. Leslie Burchel-Fox uses all natural botanical dyes to create one of a kind wearable art. These lightweight super soft scarves are a blend of silk and wool. What is Eco-Printing? Eco-Printing is an ecologically conscious way of applying print and color to protein (silk/wool) and cellulose (rayon/cotton) based textiles. Without the use of powdered mordants - which are harmful to the environment, one-of-a-kind patterns are achieved through using materials that encourage the color and patterns to emerge. Onion skins and eucalyptus leaves help to create the basic pot "soup." Leaves, flowers, and other botanicals are placed on the fabric, rolled onto a metal pipe and boiled for hours. The results are always surprising, mysterious, and a treat for the eyes. #6 & #7 - 8x50 #8, #9 & #10 - 8x54
