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.
