They drape beautifully, are lightweight, warm, travel well, and are the perfect accessory to any style of dress.

Suitable for women and men, this scarf is made from 100% silk thrums. Thrums, strands of knotted silk yarns, are created as part of the weaving process. Neal collects her foot long thrums and re-purposes them by tying them into multi-colored five yard lengths of cordage. She twists the cordage together to create skeins of richly textured silk yarn that she over-dyes before weaving into a scarf. The regularly spaced knots and repeating color patterns create complex color variations and texture that creates a visually stunning scarf.
