Four hand-woven scarves using Noro Mossa yarns

Noro yarns are very popular because of their range of vibrant colours and the banding effect they give in the finished item.  Whilst in York, UK, recently I purchased four different colour lots of Noro Mossa yarns.  This is a yarn with 52% wool, 16% viscose, 11% mohair, 11% silk, and 10% polyamide  and gives rise to very interesting textures.  I have now hand-woven these yarns into four different scarves using Tailored Strands 4-ply Australian alpaca as the warp.  I have used emerald, claret, lichen and lavender coloured alpaca yarns separately to match the colours in the different coloured Noro Mossa yarns.  The result is four multi-coloured banded , bulky feeling and soft, scarves.  Each is nominally 1800mm x 200mm and weighs approximately 160g.  What a lovely accessory to go with your latest outfit.
They will be on sale at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle in the near future.
