Sunflower Silk Scarf
Description
- Naturally Dyed with Hopi Black Dye Sunflower Seeds
- 100% Habotai Silk
- 21.5" x 21.5"
Each scarf is hand-dyed using natural dyes, resulting in color that reflects the beauty of nature. Tie it around your neck as a scarf, wear in your hair, or adorn your bag as an accessory. Silk is a protein fiber that is gentle on hair and skin, breathes well, and locks in warmth.
This scarf is dyed with the seeds from Hopi Black Dye Sunflowers (Tceqa' Qu' Si) grown in my backyard in Arizona. Each year I switch up the dye recipe to pull different shades from the seeds.

Care Instructions
Wash in cold water with like colors and a mild, pH-neutral detergent (e.g., Seventh Generation). Air dry in the shade. Avoid wringing out or agitating wet silk.
- Indigo-dyed items may be prone to crocking.
- Avoid excess sunlight exposure.
- Avoid contact with highly acidic or alkaline liquids (e.g., lemon juice, cleaning agents).
Hand dyeing and natural dyeing are not intended to create 100% solid color and may take darker or lighter in areas. This is part of the appeal of natural dyeing as it provides a lived-in, earthy color.
