Memories of New Zealand

I  spent much of December last year in New Zealand.  As I always do on holiday I try to find a yarn as a souvenir of my trip.  This time I purchased three different colours of Countryside Yarns Happy Feet yarns, a 75% wool 25% nylon mix.
Well now I have three lovely scarves:  colours of the rain forest; colours of the lakes, fiords and waterfalls; and finally the colour of "Middle Earth", or maybe it could be the Canterbury Plains in a hot dry summer.  They are all nominally 1800mm x 185mm and weigh 130g.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.

Hand-woven Kureopatora wool scarves

Our wild flower season is approaching in Western Australia so I have hand-woven two colourful scarves to match our beautiful bush.  A wool yarn from Noro, Kureopatora, with an array of  yellows, reds and mauves, woven with a wisteria coloured Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca yarn, gives a spring colour warm and luxurious scarf of generous dimensions, being nominally 1850mm x 195mm and weighing 137g.
A choice of two, see them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.
