Solano Garden Scarf 706-I by Robin Lynde
Botanical Print on Silk Scarf by Robin Lynde.
Solano Garden ecoprinted textiles embody the plants growing on my farm, bringing the shapes and colors of flowers and leaves to fabric in unique combinations. Plant material is arranged on the fabric and rolled into a bundle. In the presence of naturally occurring iron and tannin, and with the aid of steam, the pigment is transferred to the cloth. It takes patience to wait 24 hours to unwrap the bundles and see what emerges!
This silk scarf is printed with indigo leaves.
Handwash and hang to dry.

Robin Lynde raises sheep in Solano County and has been weaving for 40 years. Locally grown wool is probably her favorite fiber, but she doesn't limit her weaving to that. She has recently added botanical printing to her creative endeavors, and prints on silk scarves as well as her own handwoven textiles. Robin has been an Artery member since 2002 and has served on the Board for almost that long.
