DIY: L’avion’s Jo Scahill Teaches Us The Art Of The Scarf

Jo Scahill, the owner and founder of Australian brand L’avion, demonstrates the versatility of her silk scarves by transforming it into a unique necklace.

What you’ll need:

One large square silk scarf, such as L’avion‘s ‘Melbourne’ Silk Scarf (shown in video)

Steps:

Step 1: Spread your scarf flat out on the table, with the design face-down.
Step 2: Fold in two opposite corners so that they overlap slightly in the centre.
Step 3: Roll in both sides to form a long rope.
Step 4:  Tie a large, loose knot in the centre of the ‘rope’. Adjust it so that as much pattern as possible is showing.
Step 5: Tie two smaller, tighter knots halfway between the centre knot and each end of the scarf.
Step 6: Grab both ends and tie it around your neck and voila, you have yourself a beautiful silk necklace!

    Cute but can do that with other fabrics, I’m not a fan of the breeding and killing of approx 1500 silk worms per metre of silk.
