A luxurious handmade scarf featuring traditional Ethiopian woven designs, dyed with madder and brazilwood extracts in greys with tangerine highlights. 65% handspun organic raw silk and 35% cotton.

Produced by the Eri silkworm, Eri silk is versatile and can be spun into fine thread counts as well as coarse and textured materials, or blended with cotton such as in this fine shawl. Eri silk exemplifies the luxury of silk, the comfort of cotton, and the warmth of wool.

Ethiopian cotton rivals its Egyptian neighbour with what is considered to be one of the best quality cottons in the world. Ethiopia's climatic conditions and land resources favour the growth of cotton and have supported the weaving tradition
in Ethiopia.

200 x 30 cm.

Wash with mild soap or shampoo in cool water. Hang to dry, but not in direct sun. Ironing with steam works best.
