Dimity cloth has been woven since the 1800s, traditionally woven in silk or wool but more recently in cotton. The cloth features narrow raised ribs and most usually was woven in white or off-white.
This is a fun take on the historical cloth: a one-of-a-kind handwoven scarf that was inspired by a "Handwoven" article by Sally Orgren. The warp is primarily made from a fine variegated Tencel* yarn with multiple shades of rust, raspberry, purple and blue green. Five solid colors of Tencel, including shades of blue green and rust were used to create tiny accent stripes across the warp. The scarf was woven with a very fine dusty coral silk weft. The weave structure is a mixture of plain weave and tiny twill accent stripes.
Because this scarf was woven with fine threads it has an incredibly light and luxurious hand, and it is long enough to be worn doubled or knotted.
Content: Silk and tencel
Measures approx. 10.5 x 77" excluding the 7” twisted fringe.
Care instructions: Hand washing recommended.
* Tencel is an environmentally friendly fiber made from wood pulp. It is easy-care, soft, silky, kind to the skin, and has a lovely sheen.
