• Every scarf begins as a piece of translucent white Habutai silk.
• The outlines are hand-applied in a waterproof resist, and then the silk dyes are painted one brushstroke at a time.
• The scarf is steamed to set the dyes, then washed in water.
• Finally, the edges are rolled and stitched by hand.

ANCIENT SILK’S ENDURING VALUE

• Sericulture in China dates back more than 6000 years.
• Silk is the strongest natural fiber:it is stronger than steel by weight.
• Silk cocoons are a single filament up to 3000 feet long.  It takes six or seven of these filaments to make a single silk thread.
• Always a precious gift: Silk was traded between China and the Roman Empire along the Silk Road. It was more expensive than gold.
