Two more Noro Mossa hand-woven scarves

I have hand-woven two more scarves from my stock of Noro Mossa yarns.  These yarns are 52% wool, 16% viscose, 11% mohair, 11% silk and 10% polyamide.  This blends enables a yarn with multicolours and interesting texture.
The first scarf is using Noro Mossa #15 as the weft and an emerald (green) coloured Tailored Strands Australian Alpaca 4-ply yarn as the warp.  The various bright colours in the Noro Mossa yarn shows up nicely against the green alpaca yarn.  The scarf is 1630mm x 200mm and weighs 137g.

The second scarf is using Noro Mossa #11 against a lavender coloured Tailored Strands alpaca yarn.  This is a darker multi-coloured scarf in which the lavender alpaca warp mainly disappears into the general range of colours.  This scarf is 1700mm x 200mm and weighs 143g.

I expect both scarves to be on my stall at Perth Upmarket next Sunday, 1 March, at UWA.

Noro Mossa yarn hand-woven scarves

After weaving several lightweight cashmere scarves I am now bulking up for winter.  For this purpose I am using several colours of Noro Mossa yarns.  These are interesting textured and multi-coloured yarns made from 52% wool, 16% viscose, 11% mohair, 11% silk and 10% polyamide.
In the first scarf I have used Noro Mossa #1 as the weft and a dusk coloured silk yarn as the warp.  There is a pattern in the weave but the dominant effect of the scarf is the variation of tones and colours of the Noro Mossa yarn.  The scarf is 1830mm x 230mm and weighs 134g.

The second scarf is woven using Noro Mossa #14 as the weft and an emerald coloured Tailored Strands 4-ply alpaca yarn as the warp.  In this scarf the pattern is clearly seen against, again, the coloured stripes from the Noro Mossa yarn.  This scarf is 1800mm x 205mm and weighs 142g.

These bulky yet soft feeling colourful scarves will be on my stall at Perth Upmarket at UWA on Sunday 1 March, Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Multicoloured striped hand-woven cashmere scarves

After weaving a large number of cashmere scarves I had accumulated a lot of left over hand-dyed yarns.  To clear these left-overs I have planned and woven two scarves.  The result is two very colourful, soft and lightweight scarves.
The first is orange, tan and astor blue with a plum coloured weft and is 1800mm x 200mm and weighs 64g.

The second has eleven different colours in the warp with a Daintree (green) weft.  It is 1770mm x 215mm and weighs 71g.

My question to you is which do you prefer.  An orderly arrangement of stripes or a random arrangement?  As a scientist in my earlier life I like order, but my artistic friends like disorder.  Which are you?
Both scarves will be on my stall at Perth Upmarket to be held at UWA on Sunday 1 March, or at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Daintree (green) hand-woven cashmere scarf

In December 2013 I showed a collection of balls of cashmere yarns which we had just hand-dyed.  I have just gotten around to weave the last remaining colour.

This is the Daintree coloured hand-dyed yarn and I have used the same pattern as the previous woven scarf.  I find it fascinating to see the difference in appearance of the pattern when using a single colour.  This is a lovely lightweight (60g) and soft cashmere scarf in a soothing looking colour, and is 1820mm x 215mm.

See it on my stall at Perth Upmarket at UWA on Sunday 1 March, or at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle, depending upon stock movement.

Kingfisher and Astor/Moss cashmere hand-woven scarves

Since returning from my lovely birthday holiday with my family I  have hand-woven two more cashmere scarves.  The first is using a hand-dyed Kingfisher colour and is 1730mm x 210mm and weighs 80g.

The second is in two colours, astor and moss, again hand-dyed, and is  1770mm x 220g and weighs only 61g.

These lovely soft scarves gives you a choice of colour and pattern to match your outfit.
They will be on sale at Perth Upmarket at UWA on Sunday 1 March, Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Black and white cashmere hand-woven scarves

After many months of weaving two, or multi-, coloured scarves I have gone back to basics.  This time a couple of black and white cashmere scarves in an interesting narrow stripped pattern.  These are two elegant and luxurious scarves that will enhance any outfit.  They are nominally 1820mm x 215mm and weigh 86g.

They will be on sale at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Clematis and moss hand-woven cashmere scarves

My sales experience in the last year suggests that two, or multi-, coloured scarves are popular.  So I have hand-woven two cashmere scarves using hand-dyed clematis and moss colours in the Landscape range of dyes.  The warp for both are thin strips of the two colours whilst I have used each colour separately as the weft in the two scarves.  Both scarves are in the same pattern so it is interesting to see how different each appear. These two lovely feeling, lightweight and thin scarves will bring elegance to any outfit.  Both scarves are nominally 1700mm x 210mm and weigh only 59g.

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

Lavender and wisteria Tailored Strands alpaca hand-woven scarves

My two-tone alpaca scarves are proving popular so I have woven two more.  This time I have used the Lavender and Wisteria coloured 4-ply yarns in the Tailored Strands alpaca range.  Woven in two different patterns these finished soft touching scarves remind me of spring-time.   A lovely item       for my northern hemisphere friends!

A second hand-bag from hand-woven tartan fabric

This is the second hand-bag made from the bolt of tartan fabric which I hand-wove in early December.  The tartan fabric is from hand-dyed merino wool and is paired with a raspberry coloured cotton canvas whilst the inside is lined with a grey nylon shantung.

A small hand-bag but featuring an outside zipped pocket with a further well placed 3 open pockets inside.
The first tartan hand-bag is currently in an auction at

The auction finishes on 9 January at 8.20pm WA time (9.20pm Japanese time).
