Linen Gauze Scarf in Pale Green

A beautiful fine linen gauze scarf, the fabric is light and soft and was a found in a vintage shop. Each scarf has been hand dyed with a in different shades using plant based natural dyes, giving unique varied colouration to the fabric, as such no two scarves can ever be identical.
