Scarves
Scarves are hand woven in a variety of luxury fibers. I weave a wide piece of fabric, cut it apart, and hem all the edges. The corners are mitered. Sizes vary and are noted for each piece. The shorter length ( approx. 50") is good for any season. It can be worn without wrapping or one throw over the shoulder. The longer length (approx. 72") is good for fall and winter. It can be wrapped a couple of times. The small triangular headscarf can be worn like a traditional babushka- over the head, under the chin, and tied at the back of the neck or just knotted around your neck. See the Shawls page for larger triangles.

Care of Fabrics
Most weavings are dry clean only or hand wash. Instructions come with each piece.
Dry Clean Only
I recommend dry cleaning at home using "Dry Cleaner's Secret" (or a similar cleaning sheet that you put in your dryer, available at grocery stores). Be sure to use LOW heat, and a 10 minute cycle. If your garment is still damp, dry for 10 minutes more. Put a fabric softener sheet in, too. Store your garment folded.
Hand Wash
Use cold water and a non detergent soap, such as “Ecover Gentle Wash” or “Ivory Flakes”. Agitate gently. Refill sink with cold water to rinse twice. Roll your garment in a towel several times, pressing gently to remove excess water. Lay flat to dry on a towel. You can also use a washing machine set on “hand wash cycle”. Put your garment in a lingerie bag first. Store your garment folded or on a nonslip hanger. If you need to iron, use very low heat and/or a Teflon shoe on your iron.
