The difference the background makes

 Take two 100g balls of the same colour of Noro Kureopatora 100% wool yarn and weave one on a mocha coloured 100% alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands and the other on a champagne coloured  alpaca yarn.  What  do you get?  Two interesting different looking scarves.  What a difference the two background colours make.  Which is your choice?  Oh, by the way, both the wool and alpaca yarns are from Australian grown fleeces.

See these nominally 1840mm x 200mm scarves weighing 155g soon at Aspects of  Kings  Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Noro Kureopatora and mango alpaca hand woven scarves

 Summer is around the corner and I have just hand woven two scarves using wool and alpaca!.  Oh well, normally we would have visitors from the Northern Hemisphere visiting at Christmas who would be interested in such a product so maybe I will have to hold on to them till autumn.

A multi-coloured Noro Kureopatora 100% wool yarn on a mango coloured 100% Australian alpaca yarn gives a bright, in your face, colourful scarf matching the lovely colours we see in autumn.  A choice of two, not only in different patterns but a different pattern on both sides.  The scarves are nominally 1800mm x 195mm and weigh 143g.  See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Pink, lavender and grey

 I heard a lady discussing fashions on Melbourne Cup day saying that lavender was the in colour for the season.  Surprise, surprise, I was weaving a lavender and grey coloured scarf at the time.  So I have  a lovely mohair and alpaca scarf ready for you.  Actually the "mohair" yarn is 77% mohair, 14% wool and 9% nylon but at least the alpaca is 100% alpaca.  And as a bonus I have a pink mohair (80 mohair, 10 acrylic, 10 nylon) and grey alpaca scarf in the same pattern although the pattern is hard to discern. 

Both scarves are lovely to feel and eye-catching whilst being 1800mm x 200mm and weighing 100g.  See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.
