Hand Painted Scarves
The silk dyes used for the painting of each unique, hand painted scarf have been steamed set for permanence. You can hand-wash the scarf (see washing instructions on attached tag and below.) While the dyes are colorfast, it is a good idea to keep your scarf out of extended exposure to sunlight. Don’t hang your scarf in a window.
