These handmade, one-of-a-kind scarves are crafted by Mayan indigenous women in Chiapas, Mexico, using natural wool and natural dyes. Each scarf is hand-knitted. The dye is cochineal, a natural dye from Mexico that is unavailable in Japan, making cochineal-dyed products very expensive. Cochineal-dyed scarves from major brands like visvim sell for around 40,000 yen. The neck, wrists, and ankles have major arteries running close to the surface, making them susceptible to temperature changes. It is especially important for women to keep these areas warm, so this scarf will be useful during this season. It would also make a great gift for women. ●Size Width: Approximately 18cm x Length: Approximately 140cm ●Material 100% Wool (A thick, tightly-knitted scarf) As this is a natural dye, the color may fade when washed.
