Eggs from ants
We met the lady who designed the scarf.
Proudly, she told us she calls it ant eggs / ants eggs.
She took inspiration for this from the ant colonies at her loom.
In Thailand, the boiled eggs of ants are a delicacy.
They can be found in various dishes, such as spicy raw ant egg salad or ant egg soup.
For the Thai, it is a delicacy and a sustainable food source.
Like its inspiration, a scarf patterned with ant eggs also has sustainable characteristics.
For instance, it is handmade using paint from nature.
Traditional craftsmanship from the countryside
There is a lot of handwork and years of craftsmanship in this scarf.
The weaver who made it for you lives in the hot countryside.
As land yields are limited, weavers supplement the family income by selling hand-woven fabrics.
The ladies take all the time they need to weave the fine shawls.
This scarf also contains several days of work.
After weaving, the ladies wash the scarves in water with a high ph content.
This makes them super soft to the touch and comfortable to wear.
Paint from nature
They dye the yarn blue indigo paint that comes straight from nature.
No dead fish and chemical rivers pollute the precious water that flows near their homes.
