The pattern usually gets all the attention when designing a silk scarf—but the details, like the hand-rolled hem color, can make a big difference. In fact, the hem color plays a key role in the overall style, structure, and visual impact of the finished piece.

How to Pick a Hand-rolled Hem Color That Looks More Stylish
Many people tend to pick a hem color that closely matches the edge of their scarf design. While this may feel like the “safe” option, it often makes the scarf look flat and less defined.
Instead, we recommend using a contrasting color for the hem. This brings out the shape of the scarf, adds depth, and makes the overall design stand out.
Here are some examples:
- For pink-based designs → try pairing with forest green or steel blue for an elegant contrast
- For navy-themed scarves → go with champagne or rose taupe to lighten the look
- For black and white prints → use burgundy or dark navy to add warmth and definition

Q3: What if I don’t know what color to choose?
