The black and white double warps and wefts of this single layered fabric vary in tension and twist, resulting in greater texture and elasticity. Transposing of the white and black warps from front to back within rectangular sections in which weft threads have been removed produces a design that resembles traditional Japanese kasuri (ikat). That techniqueproduces a softly irregular or "fuzzy" transition from one color to another by binding warps in a pattern nd dying them prior to weaving. The understated design and simple color scheme of this scarf belie the textile's sophisticated qualities.
