What is grey, lavender and fluffy?
The answer
is a scarf hand-woven using a Shepherd Ezotik 14 ply 77% mohair, 14% wool, and
9% nylon yarn on a 100% Australian alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands. The mohair is coloured grey and lavender
whilst the alpaca is lavender coloured.
And you guessed it, the fluffy nature comes from the mohair.
Not content
with a single length warp the second half of the warp was used to use up some
oddment yarns. And what a reaction l
received from the first two ladies who saw the final product. In fibres unknown, apart from the alpaca warp
and a little mohair, this scarf will have great appeal. As a special offer you can buy this scarf for
A$100 including postage.
Both scarves are nominally 1830mm x 200mm and weigh 99g. They will both be available at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle in due course, unless sold earlier.
