I was curious about this because I have some Japanese kimono silk called Oshima Tsumugi. Part of the creation process involves burying or dyeing it in mud. But I'd never heard of a Chinese technique for it. Guess what I found through trusty Google:
http://curious.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/clear-as-mud-conserving-chinese-mud-silk-in-british-columbia/
The article says mud-silk is produced in Southeast China and parts of Southeast Asia. I am now officially :blush: since my ancestors came from the former and I was born & bred in the latter.
Full moon appears to be optional.... but sure makes it sound romantic (DS muttered werewolves...)

Thank you so much for this very interesting link to a particular textile history :-)

I feel a little like we found out that we both dated the same useless but handsome boyfriend in college and have lots of shared experiences to laugh about. Except we're both still dating him. But it turns out he is twins, so we're neither of us being played. Just sent you a PM. :smile:




Great information, thank you so much! And werewolves are considered very romantic in some circles, I'm told. :biggrin:

Have replied to your PM but got an error message from my email account - on my iPhone for the WE so will look into it on Monday at work!

Wow, that Mors is one tough color combination. I even spent some time googling around for home decor color schemes incorporating those three colors and got pretty much nothing, except the occasional Easter egg you've already done well to rule out. I like chocolate brown or a sand color to go with that teal-slash-slate color, but I don't know -- each looks good with either the lilac or the yellow, but not both. I guess I can offer only affirmation of the conundrum.



In the immortal words of Smokey Robinson, I second this emotion.



This one too.

The brown suggestion is brilliant...had not considered that one. I have a brown tweed sleeveless shift (not too dark) dress that might look great with this teal scarf...if I pair it with chocolate brown boots and my chocolate box K28 (worn with the strap) I might actually make this scarf work....
Thank you!

Oh, I liked this very much, particularly how you've tied it! (How did you tie it? Is it a modified chouchou?)

Thank you Joannadyne! It is a chouchou - so easy to do and so nice with the softer (older) scarves! I have it held with magnets on one side to keep the knot up on the side. :flowers:

Well dearest silkies, after all that, and all your help, and the good solutions that we found for making it work better, I have sold my Soirée.

Please don’t think me ungrateful. It just made me realize that like a bad boyfriend she was way more trouble than she’s worth and it’s not love. And as I think you will all agree, it really should be love for these babies and enjoyable, not a chore.

A friend with warmer coloring than mine fell in love with it. So it’s going to a good, healthy and more fulfilling relationship where she will see the light of day much more often and be able to shine.

I admit to second thoughts as I was taking detailed pics for my friend. But I’ll be okay. It’s not me, it’s you and I will not always regret you.

So, done.

Am I the first to actually part ways this week?

I mostly lurk and read your lovely posts but I couldn't resist this week's topic!
My mistake purchase was a new LFASDV. I really wanted to love it, in particular because of the story behind it. But it never loved me back and I rehomed it a few months ago, tags and all.
Here's one of several unsuccessful attempts to make the scarf work for me. View attachment 3895142
