Hand Dyed Silk Scarf - Sunflowers in the outlets Fall - Habotai Silk Scarf by Laura Elderton (approx. 8x54 inches)
outlets This Habotai 8mm or “China Silk” scarf is lightweight & airy in feel, but rich in colour and design. The ombre yellow to brown background fades behind the golden sunflowers and light green leaves that have a slightly batik look to them. This scarf could be paired with a very formal office suit or just added for fun to brighten up a brown or leather jacket.

I brush in the dyes - this allows me to control the shading of the colour. I then use wax to capture and save the colour before the next dye application. This creates multiple layers of colour and patterns. After I finish with the artwork, the wax is mostly ironed out and then “steamed” to set dyes on a molecular level, leaving only the feeling of silk. From then on the silk scarves can easily be hand washed.
