The beauty of this scarf is in combination of ikat work with shimmering solid part of the scarf created by using different colors of weft and warp threads.
This pure silk ikat scarf was hand dyed and machine woven in Fergana valley of Uzbekistan. The ikat technique requires precision in tying and wrapping silk threads before dying in order to create a desired design.

Dear Nilufar
The package has arrived in Mt Macedon - it was here when we returned from North-west China a couple of days ago. I am very pleased with the fabric - the colour is most beautiful and the moire pattern in the weaving is also stunning. I shall most certainly be ordering more! The colours are perfect with my antique carpets - old Central Asian and Afghan carpets and rugs.
Congratulations on producing such wonderful textiles.
