Fabrics Details

We use several different types of silk: 5mm and 8mm China Silk, Chiffon, a Silk/Wool Blend (that works well for men), and Crepe (an 8mm weight, which comes with fringe). They come in a variety of different sizes. Please note that the sizes are approximate and may vary a bit (some fabrics - like the Silk/Wool and Chiffon - will shrink some during the dyeing process). If you don't see a size or fabric you're interested in, please contact me there are a number of options for special orders.

Scarves have hems that are hand rolled and sewn. Periodically (if I miss it), you'll see a thread, just gently trim it and you are good to go. It should be noted that it's natural for silk to have some surface variations - it's the nature of 100% silk fabric - and should be expected.

China Silk and Crepe Uses

The 5mm China Silk is a beautiful, flowing fabric that looks gorgeous in motion - even people who aren't dancers will have a desire to move when they have one of these - they are amazing to watch. Although largely dance veils, the smallest size (35x84) can be worn around the neck, over the shoulder, or as a prayer shawl because the lighter weight compacts to a reasonable size (it's actually my favorite scarf now). These can also be used to create billows or "wings".

The smaller 8mm China Silk scarves have lots of great uses. The 11x11 and 6x24 both make great prayer cloths. The 11x60 and14x72 work really well as hair scarves and can even be used as sashes. They also work well as silk streamers.

The Crepe and 8mm China Silk make great every day scarves, prayer shawls and can be danced with as well. The larger 5mm and 8mm China Silk scarves can also be used as flags.

Chiffon and Silk Blends

We carry a Silk/Wool blend that makes a nice scarf for men. It has a slight texture and does not have the same sheen the China Silk has or the flowing movement both the China Silk and Chiffon have. It takes dyes a bit differently from the China Silk since the dye doesn't move on the surface - similar to Chiffon. See an example on the dyeing page.

Though we don't carry velvet scarves in stock, they can be special ordered. They have an uncut silk smooth back side combined with the rayon velvet. These are beautiful to the touch and result in lovely rich colors - they make cozy winter scarves.

Sizes and Uses

Although these scarves have many uses, simply wearing these scarves throughout the day is an awesome reminder to keep your eyes focused on Him. In addition, these scarves are wonderful tools for spiritual warfare and expressive worship. Lots of ways to enjoy them! See how others are using them and see some examples.

All scarves arrive either tied with a ribbon or in a matching or coordinating silk bag with a card attached with the scarf's name (if it has one).
