Hand-woven Countrywide Happy Feet yarn into a scarf

Where does all the water go from the rain forests?  Of course, it flows out to sea via the numerous picturesque waterfalls, rivers and streams.  Sometime calm, but often flowing fast over the young rocky river beds and gorges as the water decends from the New Zealand Alps to the west coast.  These colours of the bubbling,  swirling water, shining under the sunny blue skies are shown in Countrywide Happy Feet yarn #33, a 75% wool, 25% nylon mix.
As a memory of my recent holiday to South Island in New Zealand I have used this yarn in an hand-woven scarf.  It is 1760mm x 185mm and weighs 133g.  Can you see the pristine waters rushing through over the waterfalls and across the rocky beds of the gorges under the blue lit skies?
See it soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movements.
