A Crinkle Chiffon Scarf

1   Put the scarf on a piece of polyester wadding and paint with very dilute water and colour blends.

2   When dry, wrap the silk in cotton fabric. Silk should not touch silk. You may wrap the parcel in aluminium foil.

3   Put the parcel onto a stone in a pan with water at the bottom. Place a towel between the pan and the lid to soak up the condensation. Simmer for one hour, rinse and dry.
