More Noro Silk Garden sock and Australian alpaca handwoven scarves

What a summer we have had in Australia.  It seemed that the whole country was on fire.  How devastating the scorched and blackened bush now looks.  But sitting at my loom weaving my latest scarves I was reminded of the beauties of  Australia.
The first scarf brought back memories of the rain forests in the Great Otway National Park, on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, and in the Kuranda region of Queensland.  Then with the second I was transformed to the earthy colours of the Pilbara and Kimberley regions of Western Australia.  And all this coming from left overs of Noro Silk Garden Sock yarn (40 wool, 25 silk, 25 polyamide, 10 mohair) on a teal coloured 100% Australian Alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands.  These colours jump out from the two interesting patterns used, and the scarves are as warm and cosy as they look.  Each scarf is 1870mm x 200mm and weigh 142g.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.
