The Big Selvedge Scarf is exactly what it sounds like: large in overall size (over eight feet long), selvedge (nearly two inches at each end), and waffle texture (lots). Cut from a sublimely soft 11oz GOTS certified organic cotton woven waffle fabric that’s usually used for baby blankets, the scarf is perfect for swaddling your own neck on a cold winter’s day or curling up with on your couch because you just got home from work and you’re too tired to grab the throw from across the room. This fabric features an open weave, which may snag if caught on jewelry or other small accessories.
Dyed naturally with cutch, an extract of acacia trees, by Green Matters Natural Dye Company in Pennsylvania, USA. Naturally dyed items will show color and tonal variations, which are innate effects of the dye process. Some dyed items may transfer color during wear, in particular onto light colored fabrics and/or surfaces.
Because naturally dyed items are pH sensitive, recommend washing them separately in cold water using a pH neutral soap, and carefully reading the ingredient lists on any natural personal care products that could interact with the dye. Stains created by alkaline substances tend to disappear after washing; acidic substances are more likely to create permanent stains. Suggest soaking an item with an acid stain in cold water as soon as possible. Store naturally dyed items away from direct sunlight. Long term exposure to UV can darken and/or lighten a color, depending on the dye used.
