I find that Tailored Strands 4-ply alpaca yarn, which is 100% Australian alpaca, is great to weave and results in beautiful soft feeling scarves. I have just completed two hand-woven scarves using their yarns. The first is in the solid colour bilberry and the scarf is 1800mm x 220mm and weighs 147g. In the second I used the bilberry coloured yarn as the warp and wisteria as the weft. This mixed combination highlights the pattern and gives the scarf a lighter tone on one side and a darker emphasis on the other. This scarf is 1750mm x 210mm and weighs 138g.
You will find them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon sales.
