Hand-woven Countrywide Happy Feet yarn into a scarf

Where does all the water go from the rain forests?  Of course, it flows out to sea via the numerous picturesque waterfalls, rivers and streams.  Sometime calm, but often flowing fast over the young rocky river beds and gorges as the water decends from the New Zealand Alps to the west coast.  These colours of the bubbling,  swirling water, shining under the sunny blue skies are shown in Countrywide Happy Feet yarn #33, a 75% wool, 25% nylon mix.
As a memory of my recent holiday to South Island in New Zealand I have used this yarn in an hand-woven scarf.  It is 1760mm x 185mm and weighs 133g.  Can you see the pristine waters rushing through over the waterfalls and across the rocky beds of the gorges under the blue lit skies?

Lichen coloured Tailored Strands alpaca hand-woven scarves

A few years ago I was in Japan during spring time and my Japanese host talked about the "young green" as we viewed the new growth appearing on the trees.  I was reminded of his words as I hand wove two scarves in lichen coloured Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca yarns.  These two slightly different patterned scarves with the luxurious feel and warmth of alpaca will enhance your feelings on these lovely sunny spring days.  One is 1820mm x 220mm weighing 147g whilst the other is 1730mm x 210mm and weighs 140g.

Two handwoven scarves from leftover yarns

After many weaving projects you find that you collect a selection of leftover yarns.  My latest project has been to use up some of these yarns in two scarves.  A common feature of both is that I used a new supply of a purple green multi Bendigo sock yarn (70% merino wool, 30% nylon) as the weft.
In the first scarf I used leftovers of a purple, and a salmon, coloured Noro Silk Garden Sock Solo yarn (40% wool, 25% silk, 25% polyamide, 10% mohair) as the weft.  Various thickness horizontal bands of purple and salmon are superimposed on the longitudinal strips of purple and green.  An interesting effect on a scarf 1750mm x 220mm weighing 154g.
In the second scarf I used leftovers of some Noro Mossa yarns (52% wool, 16% viscose, 11% mohair, 11% silk, 10% nylon) as the weft.  The multicoloured bands from the Noro yarns are stripped through with the purple and green colours of the warp.  This is a bulky feeling, soft scarf, being 1800mm x 220mm weighing 186g, that is sure to keep you warm.

Handwoven multicoloured cashmere scarf

I have finally gotten around to weaving the remaining leftovers of cashmere yarns from previous projects.  With limited amounts of yarns I planned for a 1500mm x 160mm scarf.  Well, the final result is 1430mm x 160mm and weighing 49g with 4g not used.  The leftovers were different quantities of yarns of varying colours which I wove on a natural coloured Corriedale warp.  As I was weaving the scarf I was a bit worried with the array of different pinks with purple and moss green, but, whoa, the final product is excellent.  And being my last cashmere scarf - IT IS MINE!
