The properties of the silk enhance the final product by giving it a smooth and shinysurface which is pleasant to the touch and attractive to the eye.
This raw silk scarfis soft, comfortable and warm, but not heavy or bulky, so you can wear it in during the winter monthsas well as simply on a chilly night. It is elegant and exquisite and will give touch of cheerfulness and glamour to the monochromatichues of your winter clothes.

** The additional photos is of me discovering the intricate, multi-step process that starts with an itty bitty worm and becomes a lovely organic dyed piece of art that we get to wear! Some of the patterns they use are hundreds of years old and take months to make just a scarf!!! China may have introduced silk to Cambodia...but their work rivals the best in the world (and all done by hand!!).
