Tiny Dots Bandhani Scarf — Blue

Created by tying tiny knots in the fabric in a predetermined pattern and then dyeing. The knots are untied after the fabric has been dyed, washed and dried giving the scarf it's beautiful textured look. This technique of bandhani (India's answer to tie-dye) is very similar to Kanoko shibori, a Japanese tie-dye in which very tiny bits of cloth are bound with thread to create "dots" in a specific pattern. Japanese kimono cloth is dyed this way.

To care for your 100% silk scarf, please wash separately in cold water, using a mild detergent, but only if necessary. Do not soak. Drip dry in shade. Spot clean first if possible. 

Note that washing my result in "flattening" out the puckered, textured fabric.
