Embroidered Silk Bandana | Indigo

19 x 20 inches +/- Chainstich Embroidery in collaboration with Die Trying of Austin, Texas. “Each DieTrying TX piece is created using the same hand-operated vintage chain stitch machines that were used to create traditional western wear. While most embroidery today is computerized and mass-produced, the work done on these vintage machines is hand done and made one piece at a time.” Dyed with natural Indian Indigo, Dot-Danna is screen printed by hand with polka dot pattern inspired by turn-of-the-century rotary prints.  Sometimes referred to as “raw-silk”, silk noil yarns are spun from shorter fibers leftover from the spinning and manufacture of other silk fabrics. Silk bandanas make a great travel companion, keeping you comfortable in both hot and cold climates. Silk noil has a varied, nubby texture and matte surface that somewhat resembles a handwoven cotton. The unique texture can be best described as 'cozy'.  They also work great tied up in your hair, as the nubby silk stays put
