BLUE, WOOL BLEND SCARF - KYOTO

Observing the Metropolis, one envisions towering skyscrapers, expansive buildings, panoramic bay windows, and wide avenues—all woven into a geometric and linear design that boasts a wealth of detail. The color scheme is restrained, dominated by shades of blue and black, bestowing upon it an air of charm and sophistication.

This timeless scarf is effortless to style and pairs seamlessly with jackets, coats, leather jackets, or parkas. Its color palette complements gray, black, anthracite, and navy blue perfectly. Additionally, it can bring an elegant flair to a casual jeans ensemble.

To wash a wool-based scarf, hand washing is recommended. Immerse the scarf in lukewarm water, taking care as wool is sensitive to extreme temperatures. Use a mild detergent or one formulated for wool. Avoid soaking it for an extended period. For drying, wrap the scarf in a cotton towel to absorb excess moisture without wringing or twisting. Lay the scarf flat to air dry. Ironing on a high heat setting with steam can help restore its softness and texture. Never put it in the dryer, but dry cleaning is a suitable alternative.

The Jacquard method, used to craft this scarf, intertwines silk warp threads with Merino wool weft threads following a distinct pattern. The Fabrique d’Écharpe weaving studio employs Jacquard looms for this process. Invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard, a native of Lyon, in 1801, the Jacquard loom was the first programmable mechanical system, using punched cards to weave designs with various colored threads. Owing to the weaving expertise passed down since 1880, we now utilize electronically controlled looms that ensure the scarf's production is of the highest quality, while still honoring the traditional Lyon Jacquard weaving techniques.
