How does it feel compared to normal 100% moussie? And are the dots sort of embroidered on it? Or glued? Wonder if you can wash it...
looks wonderful!

The surface of the fabric is not as soft as that of my silk muslin 140 cm, losange MM and losange LM. This one has a rough surface. It is however as thin as the others. It is not stiff like Ex Libris Madras Bandana 55 cm, but the woven dots makes the scarf a little bit more sturdy than an ordinary muslin scarf.
As you can see on the picture, the edges are rolled to the revers side due to the woven dots.
Hope I have expressed this in understandable terms!

You did! It looks like this scarf was woven as, or that the dots were somehow added on to the base weave as a pick up or some other sort of weft insert. (sorry, more technical terms that I don't have an easy explanation for). An intriguing idea to explore. :)

But this is a piece I have been weaving with a weft insert:

Thanks for close-up. The dots have such a great 3-D texture. :heart:
