Heather coloured handwoven mohair scarves

 Heather on the Moors.  Have you enjoyed the colour and beauty of heather growing on the moors in the UK?  Beautiful!!   So now I bring you a reminder of those experiences.

Two hand-woven scarves in the two colours you associate with heather.   I have used a Hayfield luxury mohair yarn (80% mohair, 10% acrylic, 10% nylon) on a warp of 100% Australian alpaca from Tailored Strands.  Can you spot the two different patterns, partially visible through the fluffyness of the mohair?  The distortion similar to the wind waving the stalks of heather.  These are soft, colourful, lightweight scarves nominally 1800mm x 210 mm and weighing 95g.

See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movements.
