Description One of a kind, hand-crafted, long, floaty, 100% silk scarf, decorated with the marbling technique. Cora is marbled on one side only but the bright colours show on both sides. Every scarf is unique because only one side can be printed from each application of paint to size, and it’s impossible to get identical results twice. Marbling is a traditional process going back centuries. This Cora scarf has been created in the Turkish Ebru manner. First of all the silk is soaked in a mordant which helps to fix the paints or dyes, and thoroughly dried. Then a pattern is created by floating the paints onto a viscous liquid called ‘size’ in a scarf-sized marbling bath. The paints will maintain their true colours rather than mixing with each other, but they can be raked, combed and swirled to give a huge variety of patterns. Cora is in marbled in the Turkish stone pattern in blue. The hearts are then added to the bath as circles of paint which are then pulled into heart shapes. Some of these are picked out with gold and red paint after marbling. 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.
