Made with the extra fine silk yarns, this handwoven Lime Zest scarf has a hand-dyed warp in a waterfall design. In varying shades of lemon, lime and jade, the warp is crossed with a soft jade coloured hand-dyed extra fine silk weft. Using a dip-dyed and resist technique, allowing colours to remain distinct in some areas and to merge in others, an unrepeatable complexity of tones is achieved.
It is woven in a 1/3 twill which predominantly shows the patterned warp on one side and the softer colours of the weft on the other.
Every scarf is finished with hand hemstitching, a fringe and a “Jaine Mahon” label.
Your scarf is a unique work of art. It will be beautifully packaged in a “Jaine Mahon Handwoven Silk from Skye” gift box and sent first class. As with every precious purchase, it will be send by Royal Mail ‘Special Delivery’

Taking inspiration from the colours on the Isle of Skye, the fresh colours of spring shoots and the thought of a twist of lime or lemon in a cool G & T, this piece, made from extra fine 100% silk at 100 ends (threads) per inch, is individually designed and has been exquisitely woven on a traditional 8 shaft floor loom, resulting in a soft, luxurious, sumptuously coloured silk textile.
