Bilberry and wisteria Tailored Strands alpaca scarves

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.
