This lightweight scarf is made of pure Ethiopian cotton. It emulates the scarves and shawls most Ethiopian women wear on holidays and special occasions. The soft colors and airiness of these scarves make them perfect for spring and summer. Inspired by the ancient weaving traditions of Ethiopia, the artisans create exquisite textiles using natural fibers. From the spinning of the thread to the weaving of the fabric, the process is done entirely by hand. The skill of hand spinning is passed down from mother to daughter and most rural women spin at their homes for extra income. The beauty of handspun thread is a rare commodity in our quickly changing world of mechanized textile factories. A weaver can produce one to three scarves in a day depending on the level of detail of the design.
