Mango and mocha coloured alpaca handwoven scarves

Mango with mocha may not sound very appealing as a snack but these colours in Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca yarns gives you an appealing scarf. The chosen pattern gives you a choice of dominant brown or orange to match your mood, or your outfit, or you can choose the solid orange coloured scarf.
Two lovely soft alpaca scarves, nominally, 1800mm x 200mm and weighing 132g.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movements.

Handwoven Noro Mossa and Australian alpaca scarf

If you like colour you will love this scarf.  Noro Mossa yarn (52% wool, 16% viscose, 11% mohair, 11% silk, 10% nylon) woven in a patterned design on a claret coloured Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpac yarn.  The scarf is full of colours and textures from the Noro Mossa yarn.  A bulky feeling, soft scarf, it will brighten up your day as well as others.  A long scarf, being 1920mm x 205mm and weighing 166g, there is plenty to wrap around your neck to keep you warm, or trailing ends to show off to your friends.
See it soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movements.

Two handwoven scarves from leftover yarns

After many weaving projects you find that you collect a selection of leftover yarns.  My latest project has been to use up some of these yarns in two scarves.  A common feature of both is that I used a new supply of a purple green multi Bendigo sock yarn (70% merino wool, 30% nylon) as the weft.
In the first scarf I used leftovers of a purple, and a salmon, coloured Noro Silk Garden Sock Solo yarn (40% wool, 25% silk, 25% polyamide, 10% mohair) as the weft.  Various thickness horizontal bands of purple and salmon are superimposed on the longitudinal strips of purple and green.  An interesting effect on a scarf 1750mm x 220mm weighing 154g.
In the second scarf I used leftovers of some Noro Mossa yarns (52% wool, 16% viscose, 11% mohair, 11% silk, 10% nylon) as the weft.  The multicoloured bands from the Noro yarns are stripped through with the purple and green colours of the warp.  This is a bulky feeling, soft scarf, being 1800mm x 220mm weighing 186g, that is sure to keep you warm.
