The scarf was hand-dyed using a mixture of fuschia and pink alter-ego silk dyes. The alter ego dyeing process leaves the shiny, off-white/pinkish color on the water patterns and fringe; and a beautiful muted pink color on the silk sheer 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 to untangle the fringe, after dries. 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.
