Scarves from Bendigo wool and Tailored Strands alpaca yarns

What do you do with a purple/pink multicoloured Bendigo sock yarn (70% merino, 30% nylon) and lavender and wisteria coloured Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca yarns?  Well, I have hand-woven two luxurious scarves using the Bendigo yarn as the warp and the lavender, and then the wisteria, Tailored Strands yarns as the weft.  Although both are in the same pattern they look so different.  The lavender tones in well with the purple/pink multi whilst the wisteria gives a strong contrast against the various colours in the Bendigo wool.  Both scarves are nominally 1800mm x 230mm and weighs 146g.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movements.
