I would assume you are right that "Monarch" was his dog. And I am "almost" sure they would never hem a scarf in a third color (from the scarf or the edge) -sure the experts will weigh in on this... but my quick search turned up this beautiful site (have the patience to scroll down!)

I caution, Miskin, wait for the experts!! Query sdsurfchick or fleuretcarlines (pm them) about this one. I know lots, but it is a drop in the bucket compared to them!!LOL

Re: horses... I grew up in Wyoming and riding was my main activity...

First of all I would like to thank all the TPF members! You guys are the best and I am learning soooooo much on this forum. :hugs:

I still need to learn a lot about scarfs so I have two small questions:

1. Is it possible for Hermes to do the stitching with a thread that is different colour from the carré itself (or should I better say hem/rim). Because yesterday I spotted a "Farandole" in white and blue and it was stitched with a green thread

2. Does anybody know the story behind "Monarch" by Xavier de Poret? My first guess is that it's his dog (called Monarch, hehe) :D

Mishkin, I don't know about Monarch. Sorry. The thread should match exactly the silk that is rolled into the hem, including on contrasting hems.
