Deep Red with Moody Blue, Cream and Miso Brown Large Paisley Pattern Ancient Madder Hand Screen Printed Silk Day Cravat
"Originally derived from the Rubia tinctorum plant, the madder dyeing process infuses each silk cravat with a palette of deep purples, rich golds & browns, dark reds, vibrant oranges, earthy greens, and sumptuous blues. This meticulous method, undertaken by one of the last traditional silk mills in England, involves hand screen printing while utilising environmentally friendly techniques. The silk has a distinctly different handle from other silk - treated with gum arabic, it acquires a butter-like texture, known as "chalk hand", and is reminiscent of fine suede, with a uniquely "dusty" finish."

One of the properties of madder is that it gives a glow to the colours, which is evident with Rochester. The combination of red, blue, cream and light brown, with the paisley pattern makes this a very attractive buy.
