Scarves hand-woven using hand-painted wool and nylon yarn

What do you do whilst visiting Granville Island in Vancouver?  Besides buying a wide variety of fruit for our lunch I also purchased 2 x 100g skeins of hand-painted wool and nylon mix yarns.  I have now hand-woven these into two colourful scarves.  With the limited amount of yarn they are small scarves.   A green and red one is only 1260mm x 150mm and weighs 82g, and a blue and yellow one of 1410mm x 160mm and 89g in weight.
Jacket scarves, children scarves, call them what you like, but nevertheless memories of my holiday.  These to colourful unique scarves are now waiting for the right buyer.  See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle, depending upon stock movement.

Lavender Tailored Strands alpaca handwoven scarves

I was getting ready for Wimbledon, but ran out of grass (or at least green), so now have to settle for the Dockers!  It would have gone done well last Saturday for my first trip to our new stadium.
In reality I have hand-woven two lavender coloured scarves using Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca.  Two patterns, two scarves, in soft feeling, warm luxurious alpaca.  Lovely for our chilly winter days.  Nominally 1800mm x 210mm and weighing 142g, they would be a delight to wear.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.
