Recycled sari silk handwoven scarves

And now for something different!  What does Cape Town, Katmandu and Esperance have in common?  For me they are places where I  have purchased whilst on holiday recycled sari silk (the  threads of silk from sari offcuts spun together to make a thicker yarn).   Fancy finding such a product  on my recent trip to Esperance!
Now I have two hand-woven scarves using this recycled sari silk on a warp of  hand-dyed silk yarn.  Hairy, heavy but unusual.  They are nominally 1830mm x 205mm and weighing 300g.  I now have to wait for the right person to purchase these scarves from Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon where I place them.
