 Exclusively at the Museum Store--Swans Island
Nash Island, Maine, where sheep live their entire lives with no brush to tangle their fleeces, produces some of the most luxurious natural wool in the world, which is hand- loomed using natural dyes by the visionary team at Swans Island. Each extraordinary scarf is a work of art; natural blacks and browns come "ready to use" direct from the sheep, while madder root is used for orange, indigo for blue, and cochineal for red and pink. Specially packaged in linen presentation boxes, with a booklet describing the Swans Island story, this is a gift of stunning simplicity and integrity.
Special orders are welcome, but must be placed with the Museum Store by December 5 to guarantee delivery for the holidays.
Scarf: 10 x 70 inches; white, pink, indigo blue, or tweed brown. $150; Friends member $135
