This is the third in a series of 3-season scarves in a bright & muted color palette, in cotton, linen, and silk.
The name "Dilly" is a small, rural town nearby. The inspiration of the scarf is spring, the mood changeable. The design, as in most of my scarfs, is a story, with asymmetrical motifs, in different colors, each a vignette of a continuing story in my head.
The design is meant to align slightly differently each time the wearer wraps it on, with different areas of the scarf coming together to frame the face, in a subtly different way each time it is worn. The parts not visible when the scarf is worn are its secrets.
The design of this scarf balances areas of plainweave, unbleached and natural, muted color linen and cotton against rosepath details, including inlay. The wefts are mixed fibers. The ends are finished on the loom with hemstitching.
Off the loom, the scarf was handwashed, air dried, and finished in a heatless drier for several minutes to soften.
