Silk Stole in Pale Green and Natural

A pale green and natural-colored silk stole made form malda silk, the small cocoon indigenous to East India and known for its fineness and strength. Ghicha (tussar hand-spun silk) has been woven together with the malda silk to create this thin and durable silk stole. 

Size: 57 x 180 cm. Dyed using marigold and indigo. 

All Maki Textile Studio shawls and stoles are hand-woven with hand-made yarns such as hand-reeled, hand-spun silks using traditional Japanese or Indian techniques. In accordance with an old Japanese method, the silk yarns are not degummed fully before being dyed with vegetable dyes and woven on the hand looms. Although they may not have a 'silky touch' in the beginning, the more they are used, the softer and glossier they become.
