Noro Kibou with alpaca handwoven scarves

Cotton, wool, silk or alpaca.  What is your favourite fibre?  Well this time you get a bit of each of these natural fibres.  Noro Kibou #16 yarn is 54% cotton, 34% wool, 12% silk and has been hand-woven on a warp of lichen coloured Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca.  The bands of new growth colours of the Noro Kibou yarn on the pale green alpaca yarn gives the impression of the awaking spring.  Soft colours on a soft feeling luxurious scarf.  With nominal sizes of 1830mm x 210mm and weighing 155g, it would be a lovely accessory to have on hand.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Claret coloured alpaca handwoven scarf

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and I bring you good cheer in the form of a  claret.  However, not a drink, but a claret coloured scarf in Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca.  A beautiful luxurious feeling scarf with longitudinal or horizontal lines depending upon which side you show.  Will be a pleasure to wear whilst impressing your peers.  Can you handle the size of 1860mm x 220mm and weighing 155g?
See it soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.

Emerald green alpaca handwoven scarves

I wove two red scarves recently so to complete the set for Christmas here are two green ones.  In fact in the emerald green coloured Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca yarn.  A soft luxurious feeling yarn in a popular colour with a choice of two patterns.  Too warm for our Australian summer but would be welcomed by your relatives and friends back in Europe or Northern America.
The scarves are nominally 1800mm x 210mm and weigh 150g.
Buy them direct from the weaver or see them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.

Recycled sari silk handwoven scarves

And now for something different!  What does Cape Town, Katmandu and Esperance have in common?  For me they are places where I  have purchased whilst on holiday recycled sari silk (the  threads of silk from sari offcuts spun together to make a thicker yarn).   Fancy finding such a product  on my recent trip to Esperance!
Now I have two hand-woven scarves using this recycled sari silk on a warp of  hand-dyed silk yarn.  Hairy, heavy but unusual.  They are nominally 1830mm x 205mm and weighing 300g.  I now have to wait for the right person to purchase these scarves from Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon where I place them.

Scarlet alpaca handwoven scarves

Christmas is coming, and red is the colour.  So why not a hand-woven scarlet coloured 100% Australian alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands to celebrate?  This lovely 2-ply yarn produces a gorgeous feeling, and looking, scarf ready for the coming festive season, or even for all year round!
Nominally 1800mm x 225mm and weighing 120g, these will soon be available at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle, unless you buy direct first.

My 700 scarf milestone

Coming up to my 700th hand-woven scarf I wondered what could I weave for this historic milestone.  My favourite yarns are the 100% Australian alpaca ones from Tailored Strands. So!!! I took all the colours I have used, 14 colours, and wove two scarves in these multitudes of colour.  Well, when I took  the finished weave of the loom I was spell-bound, two spectacular scarves.
Now I have to think what to do with them!!  I must keep them in the family, so hopefully my daughter and my eldest grand-daughter will cherish these special scarves.  Sorry Juliette, but I don't think they should  be stored for 15 years until you would be ready to wear one.

Champagne and mocha drinks, no scarves

Champagne and mocha, would you mix them?  As drinks no, but as two coloured 100% Australian alpaca yarns from Tailored Strands they mix well.  Subdued colours in two intriguing patterns they have produced two luxurious feeling, and looking, scarves to complement your winter, or even colourful, outfits.  Both scarves are nominally 1800mm x 215mm and weigh 145g, see them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.
