Handwoven multicoloured cashmere scarf

I have finally gotten around to weaving the remaining leftovers of cashmere yarns from previous projects.  With limited amounts of yarns I planned for a 1500mm x 160mm scarf.  Well, the final result is 1430mm x 160mm and weighing 49g with 4g not used.  The leftovers were different quantities of yarns of varying colours which I wove on a natural coloured Corriedale warp.  As I was weaving the scarf I was a bit worried with the array of different pinks with purple and moss green, but, whoa, the final product is excellent.  And being my last cashmere scarf - IT IS MINE!

Claret and grey hand-woven alpaca scarves

Claret and grey, may I say, are very popular colour combinations.  I have sold more than 11 hand-woven scarves in these colours already.  Using Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca yarns I have hand-woven them in the same two patterns as my previous two-tone blue scarves - can you see the same pattern as I am showing the reverse side mainly.
Two beautifully soft, and luxurious, scarves for you to choose from, with a size nominally 1850mm x 220mm and weighing 142g.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle, depending upon stock movements, or unless sold sooner.

Ocean and royal blue alpaca handwoven scarves

I must be in a blue mood as I have hand-woven two more blue tone scarves.   The ocean blue and royal blue coloured Tailored Strands 100% Australian 4-ply alpaca yarns match beautifully.  Do you like the two different patterns? and have you noticed the different pattern on the reverse sides?  This is the first time I have used these patterns and I am very pleased with the results.  What man would not like to wear these luxurious soft feeling scarves.  I know that many a woman would love to wear them!
The first one in long, being 1930mm x 220mm and weighs 153g, whilst the second is more the normal length being 1800mm x 220mm and weighing 142g.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.
