RBH you must share your wash routine. I have gone through that thread, watched a video and will be washing on Saturday. You seem to be a pro at this and I am still nervous. Also, I cannot stand ironing
Love the way you tied this scarf!
One of my very favorite Alice Shirley designs, Appaloosa des Steppes, in canard/framboise/marine. I read in a 5/17/18 article in Homes and Interiors of Scotland that Ms Shirley was inspired to create this design because of one theory that the American Appaloosa descends from wild spotted horses in Kyrgyzstan. There is a film that I need to stream called True Appaloosa by Conor Woodman that chronicles a NZ Appaloosa breeder and horsewoman’s trek to the Asian Steppes to research her theory that the breed entered NA via the Bering Strait. It’s absolutely fascinating and I look very forward to seeing it. Behind this leaping boy (I’ve decided he’s male; I have named him Azamat, which means “majesty” or “glory”) are the geometrically arranged ancient tribal patterns of Shrydak rugs, created by kyrgyz women who felt, cutout and hand-sew the wool used to make these gorgeous rugs.

Biggest fear for me is accidentally flattening the hem. Hasn’t happened yet.RBH you must share your wash routine. I have gone through that thread, watched a video and will be washing on Saturday. You seem to be a pro at this and I am still nervous. Also, I cannot stand ironing
I use a cotton hankie over the silk when I iron. @Redbirdhermes , how do you iron, please? I know this needs to go to a different thread if the discussion continues.
totally understandable - who could resist pinguïns and polar bears, scarf1?
thank you, fifi!
Nice to see how you enjoy your trip (and your scarves), Cookie!
wonderful vintage find, Turfnsurf!
the more I see of KO, the more I like his designs. Sigh...
great look, also your new ”pour sortir” (we are sisters on this one)!
thank you, Awillow!
love the B&W scarf!
your SD is perfect, Pirula!
great find for a great scarf, Alleycat!Sotd- off topic sorry but my first time wearing one of my top three scarves of all time. Took me months just to get my only 90 of PdS at a reasonable price. I’d love them all...Just not at evil bay prices
And this is the magic of these scarves that I talked about in my last post. I just bought this sweater yesterday because now I can make green work on me W a scarf next to my face. I have zero green in my closet because it usually isn’t good w my skin tone. But actually this is a really complimentary green that I did find in the sweater. Thank you Nordstrom semi annual sale
thank you, Awillow! You see, I lost track as well and am reacting to a great many posts now. Fortunately M. Agrume has to finish some emails this Friday evening...
a marvellous Phoenix, Xincinsin!The phoenix in myths and legends is usually a wild elusive creature with magical powers. Heroes go on quests to seek it.
In Chinese mythology, it is the ruler of all the birds. The Vermilion bird, representing fire and the direction South, and found on mahjong tilesis often represented by a Phoenix. In Egyptian, Greek, Roman and other Western myths, the Phoenix represents resurrection, and is associated with immortality.
Here is my SOTD Vermilion bird

love the yellow for this design, Croisette!

lovely, Moma, this design is a treasure!
perfect choice for this week, Karenska!
another perfect choice, you can even wear this yellow, amazing!
perfect look!
Great colours for this marine wildlife, Redbirdhermes!
Wonderful!! Congratulations on your new 70!
Such a beautiful design, RBH! Your scarves look professionally cleaned!
yes I have 2 90s. One in the blue/pink CW, and the SF special edition.
lovely! This is the first H scarf I bought! Although mine has a slightly different cW.
What pretty colors!
Perfect with your cardi, Karenska! And don’t be afraid of washing, i have done it several times now, even in the washing machine. I also rather like ironing, it’s good to think.
Changed the scarf ring and repositioned the asymmetrical fold to better show the horse’s spots. 
It took me a long time to gather up everything. I even installed a water softener in my home as our town water is super hard. New iron, ironing board cover, wash bin, special liquid soap, and color catcher sheets. A couple of soft old white towels and my egg timer. Once I had everything assembled it is quick and easy. Just follow the directions in Mai Tai's handwashing scarf blog entry. About 3 minutes of constant gentle swishing in soapy water, two cold rinses, roll in towel to absorb water, hang over clean towel on shower rack. Ready to iron in 20 minutes.RBH you must share your wash routine. I have gone through that thread, watched a video and will be washing on Saturday.

Thank you, and good luck. So far I've only washed older ones that reeked of perfume. They are good practice for me.
Thank you, Scarf. Those are beautiful cws of CU, esp the SF edition.
Thank you for the compliment and the vote of confidence, Agrume. I agree about ironing, in general

True enough on quirky behavior! I have two tortie sisters now; I have had cats all my life, but these two are the oddest I've ever had (even the staff at the vet goes, "You have *two* torties? Ooooh...." !). They're 10 years old, and they've only *just* started to accept that my MIL isn't going to eat them (though the jury is still out on the mailman or anyone who rings a doorbell). They were, in fact, feral rescues as babies, but sometimes it's like they never realized they're safe.
I'm sorry to hear about your girlie; I wish you happy memories of her this week.
