This is the first post with examples of embroidered scarves from India. The scarves are cream colored fine wool with decorative multi-color embroidery. Included will be some pieces where the embroidery can be viewed as the same pattern from both back and front - referred to as double-sided. I purchased these scarves from a merchant in New Delhi during a trip where I also visited the majestic Taj Mahal. I was privileged to see the many beautiful examples of this textile craft worn by the women in India. In the United States these treasures have been worn for warmth and also have been greatly admired since their purchase in 1980.
