Pictachio and a mocha

Do you munch on nuts when you have a coffee?  Perhaps not, but I have taken a pistachio coloured Noro Silk Garden Sock Solo yarn (40% wool, 25% silk, 25% polyamide, 10% mohair) and hand-woven it on a mocha coloured 100% Australian alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands.
There are some interesting coloured flecks and yarn thickness variations in the Noro yarn that breaks up the regularity of the two different woven patterns.  With the inclusion of the alpaca warp these are two soft feeling scarves.  With nominal sizes of 1840mm x 205mm and weighing 148g, they will be a great asset in the coming cold winter days.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.
