Description Midori is a super light weight silk scarf, mostly green and white with some brown and black. Midori has been dyed using the traditional Japanese marbling technique of suminagashi, which creates the effect of ripples on water. To produce this effect the scarf is first soaked in a mordant, which fixes the colour, and then dried. Inks or paints are then? floated on water, rather than marbling size. First a drop of ink is placed on the water very gently with a paintbrush. In the centre of this a drop of dispersant is placed, then a dot of ink in the centre of that. This process is repeated up to 100 times or so per set of ripples. As more paint and dispersant is added, the ripples flow outwards.? To create multiple sets, as in this Midori scarf, the scarf has to be dried and mordanted several times, so it?s not a speedy process! While every attempt has been made to represent colours correctly, they will vary from screen to screen. However, if you are unhappy with the colour I accept returns, provided you use tracked postage. All marbled beauty scarves as washable at low temperatures and can be tumble dried on a low setting although we recommend hand washing in warm water and drip drying. Iron with a two spot (UK) iron. Midori is 120 x 27 cm.
