Macoun Silk Scarf

Did you know that wetlands play a critical role in maintaining balance in nature? About 13% of Canada consists of bogs, marshes, and swamps which not only buffer the effects of floods and act as filters for toxic substances, but support an enormous variety of insect, aquatic and terrestrial species.

This design is named in honour of John Macoun (1831 - 1920), an avid field naturalist and National Historic Person whose botanical collections are the foundation of those of today's National Museum of Natural Sciences.

Each scarf measures 40.6 x 182.9 cm (16" x 72") and is available in 100% silk habotai with a complementary coloured durable baby rolled hem.

Care instructions for our silk habotai scarves: hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not bleach! Hang to dry. Iron on the cotton setting. May be drycleaned.

Designed, printed and sewn in Canada.
