The ice dyeing process is one in which small mounds of ice are piled atop gathered silk piles and sprinkled with dye powder. The ice melts slowly over the silk, and the dye powder drops onto the silk, absorbing intermittently and creating a marbled effect.
This multi-tonal scarf is 23"x23" and is one ply of heavy silk charmeuse. The edges are hand-rolled. Primarily rich red-purple, it also has tones of light and dark red and pink. Hand wash and lay flat to dry on an old towel. Iron with hot steam, avoiding the rolled hemmed edges.
It can be worn multiple ways: folded diagonally and worn around the neck in front or back. Or, rolled into a tube and tied around neck, wrist, head, or handbag strap.
