Black Khmer Silk Scarf

These classic silk scarves never go out of style. They are elegantly lightweight and large enough to be worn as a scarf or a wrap. Traditionally hand-loomed by a women’s weaving cooperative and made from 100% Khmer (Cambodian) silk and non-toxic dyes. Details: Material: 100% Khmer Silk Measurements: L 66" x W 33" Handmade with love in Cambodia As with all handcrafted goods, there are slight variations making each piece a work of art and truly one of a kind. Care: Hand washes with gentle detergent. Do not iron or steam. Artisan Profile: The Cambodian women’s silk weaving cooperative is located in the Takeo Province, a rural, low-income area. They employ over 500 weavers from 7 villages. The silk is also produced locally by 350 farmers who grow mulberry trees which rear cocoons from silkworms. The cocoons are spun into silk thread and eventually hand-loomed into these elegant works of art.   The goal of this social enterprise is to prevent the ancient Cambodian silk-weaving tradition
