Soft cotton handkerchieves handwoven in four lovely colours. The dyes used are azo- free so no nasty chemicals have been used.
These are made for us by ladies in a rural village 100 kms north of Kolkata. They have been taught vocational skills and traditional techniques and the technique used here is a wax resist. As part of a trust, Fair Trade practices are strictly adhered to enabling them to earn a good wage.
The bundle of 3 will be pot luck as to which 3 colours are included unless you specify when ordering. They are all lovely though!
Aproximately 46 cms square.
The care label (which can be snipped out) says hand wash but they can be machine washed, just not too hot! Hot iron.
A fine handwoven merino wool scarf with a raw edge. Grey wool with a slight sheen with three colour detail options. The detail which is woven into the main fabric reminds me of the braiding on a military uniform and is tufted from one side but subtle on the reverse. Quite unusual.

These fine merino wool scarves have an interesting wavy weave and two tone colour effect. This effect is achieved by different coloured threads being used; one for the warp and one for the weft. These are quite difficult to photograph as the effect is quite subtle and changes with the light.

The Eclipse Wild Silk Scarf is woven by hand from naturally textured wild silk, with a distinctive character that machine-made fabrics cannot replicate. Light catches the weave to reveal subtle tonal variations, giving the scarf quiet depth and elegance without being overpowering. The more it's worn the softer it will become
Wild silk has a lustrous finish and a rich texture that sets it apart from the usual mulberry silk. It feels light against the skin, yet provides warmth when the temperature drops, making Eclipse a scarf you'll reach for throughout the year.
Each scarf is handwoven by skilled artisan weavers using traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. As every piece is woven individually, slight variations in texture and colour are part of its character, making each scarf genuinely unique.
Designed for women who value timeless style and lasting quality, Eclipse works just as beautifully with relaxed linen and denim as it does with tailoring, knitwear or occasion dressing. It is an effortless way to add colour, texture and refinement to an outfit without following passing trends.
At SookiTwist, we believe beautiful accessories should also have a positive story. Eclipse is ethically made through Fair Trade partnerships that support skilled craftspeople with sustainable employment, fair pay and the opportunity to preserve traditional weaving skills.
Whether you are choosing a luxury silk scarf for yourself or looking for a thoughtful gift, Eclipse is made to be worn, enjoyed and treasured for many year

These handcrafted scarves are created by expert weavers from the finest pashmina cashmere. Light and fine yet soft and warm, they come in a range of striking colours and patterns. As suited to a casual, jeans and t-shirt look as well as with a city suit. Only certified Pashmina wool is used to make the hand-spun yarn which is then worked on handlooms to make the fine textiles. Our partners are helping traditional herders and the dwindling tribe of authentic pashmina craftspeople keep their trade and art alive.

These exquisite scarves and wraps are made from the finest handwoven Tussar silk covered in handstitched Kantha embroidery. Every piece is an individual work of art and takes at least a month to produce. They are lovingly created by ladies from a women's producer group in West Bengal giving them the chance to earn a living whilst working from their village homes and supporting their families.
Stunning for any occasion, these pieces can be worn as a shawl around the shoulders or scrunched as a scarf. So beautiful, especially for a special occasion when you want to stand out from the crowd but are equally happy paired with jeans and a jumper. The texture of this natural silk is light and crisp unlike the usual mulberry silk, but with wear and time will soften beautifully.
Due to the nature of the production, there may be irregularities but this is all part of their charm. Note also that they are not lined so there may be loose threads on the reverse showing the handiwork. Do take care of these and they will become a treasure to be passed on through the years.
Fabric: Tussar silk with cotton embroidery
Dimensions: 200 x 50 cms.
Look After Me: Gentle hand wash separately in cold water with mild liquid soap. Line dry or iron with cloth on silk setting
