Scarf - Organic Cotton Hand-tied Bandhani (6 pack)

An organic cotton scarf that has been hand-tied by master bandhani artisans in India in partnership with Maiwa. The ties act as a resist and create an extraordinary texture when left to dry before removing the ties. This scarf has a subtle hatch texture in the weave.

The size is approx. 22" x 80" (56cm x 204cm)

Also available Individually.

HOW TO DYE:

Work in traditional styles (Indian, Japanese, African or Indonesian) or dye it your own way. These shawls can be dyed with natural dyes, fibre reactive dyes, or vat dyes. Work gently - the ties form the resist. The shawl can be painted or immersion dyed. Once dyed, the shawl will need to be processed using the recommended method (check our dye instructions for details).

AFTER DYEING:

The shawl can be gently rinsed and laid flat to dry. In order to retain the distinctive bandhani shape, allow the shawl to dry completely before carefully removing the ties. Avoid using scissors or a seam ripper - rather, pinch the top and pull the threads off by hand. To keep this shape, the shawl must be dry cleaned.
