Cheerful Hand Dyed Slub Linen Yellow Dupatta

What does the lemon dupatta look like?

It is a vivid lemon shade with faint pale butis spread across the body and small tassels at the ends. The matte finish keeps such a bright colour from looking shiny, so it feels cheerful rather than loud for a daytime outfit at the office or on holiday.

Which colours pair best with a lemon dupatta?

Lemon leans cool, so it looks fresh with white, grey, navy and soft blues. A plain white kurta with lemon is a classic summer combination, and it lifts a simple grey or denim-blue set nicely. Strong warm oranges tend to clash with it, so keep those aside.

Is it a good choice for hot weather?

Yes. Linen is breathable, and slub linen keeps that breathability while being durable. The dupatta has a light look, so it is easy to carry over one shoulder with a cotton kurta on a summer day or while travelling.

Do the small tassels need any special care?

Wash the dupatta by hand in a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, and smooth the tassels out with your fingers before you hang it to dry in the shade. Avoid wringing or machine spinning, which can knot and fray them.

Are the uneven threads a defect?

No. Those thicker bits in the yarn are the slubs that give slub linen its name and its rustic look. Small irregularities in weave and dye are normal in handmade fabric, and they are the reason no two pieces look exactly alike.
