The body of the scarf was knit using a brown 70% silk/30% cotton blend tweed yarn, it is constructed with the stockinette stitch and curls to form a soft tube. This yarn has a flecked, tweedy look and a soft, non-scratchy texture. Two additional strands of trim frame the scarf. Soft and organic, and in fresh woodsy colors and textures, these trims are crocheted mixes of squiggly, tendril-like yarn made by Crystal Palace, and a curly boucle yarn by Filatura Di Crosa. They have the look of twine from a bird's nest.
The beautiful, delicate embroidered leaves are individually embroidered by me, and are inspired by real leaves. This scarf features a woodsy mix of sage green, olive drab, sap green, bronzish-light brown, (granny smith) apple green, chocolate brown, and hunter green hued embroidered leaves. Leaves include: Bur Oak, Tulip Tree (Yellow Poplar), Apple, Hawthorn, Fairy Bells, Linden, and features the flower-like leaves of the water plant Marsilea Mutica. I create all my leaves myself- absolutely no embroidery machines, embroidery patterns, or anything of the sort are used! All leaves are made of 100% silk dupioni fabric. Felted wool berries of mottled leaf green hues are placed at irregular intervals and are enclosed by a web-like embroidery.
Length: 81 inches (218.4 cm)
Made in a smoke-free environment with love and great attention to quality and detail. The edges of each leaf are treated with Dritz Fray Check to prevent Fraying.
