This blue and purple silk cravat is made from double thickness silk twill 12. The nape of the neck is pleated for comfort. I used blue and purple steam fix dyes. I then dropped salt onto the wet dye. When heat is applied it pulls the dye into a unique pattern. The cravat is then steamed to fix the dye. The cravat is hand washable and washing instructions are included. Each cravat is individually hand dyed so colours and patterns will vary.
