This scarf was hand-dyed using a deep dark blue, alter-ego silk dye. The alter ego dye leaves a shiny effect on the animal patterns (viscose and fringe) and a beautiful muted deep dark blue color on the silk backing. After dyeing, the scarf was steamed for several hours, hand washed/rinsed with fabric soften, hung dry, and ironed.
Care Instructions: Some silk dye run-off may occur during initial washings. Hand-wash, separately, with cold water and mild detergent. Add fabric softener when washing and/or rinsing. Gently wring and hang to dry. Use a wide-tooth comb, and gently comb to remove tangles after drying. Use a hand-held steamer, or gently iron on a silk setting/wrong side to remove wrinkles. Store in a mesh or cloth bag or hang on a velvet hanger. Because the scarf is hand-dyed some variations in color may be seen.
