Shula is lightweight and floaty and would look great brightening One of a kind, hand-crafted, long, floaty, 100% silk scarf, decorated with the marbling technique. Shula is lightweight and floaty, as you can see in the video, and would look great brightening up a dark suit or winter coat. Marbling is a traditional process going back centuries. This Shula scarf has been created in the Western tradition, frequently used in the past to create beautiful endpapers in high-end books, using a variety of marbling techniques. 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 create a wide variety of patterns. When one side has been marbled, the scarf is dried, mordanted again, dried again and then marbled on the other side. 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.
