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.

Mohair hand-woven scarf

 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.

Scarlet coloured handwoven alpaca scarves

Gone with the Wind!   What memories does this recall?  Scarlet O'Hara, Rhett Butler???

Well, I bring you Scarlet, or at least a scarlet coloured  scarf hand-woven in 100% Australian alpaca from Tailored Strands.  In fact, actually two scarlet coloured scarves in two different patterns and each nominally 1800mm x 200mm and weighing 128g.  Both warm in colour, warm to feel and warm to wear.  Can you wear this striking colour?

Handwoven pastel colours

What has 2 fibres, 2 patterns and multiple pastel colours?

A Vectis Ori handwoven scarf in Noro Kureopatora 100% wool and Tailored Strands 100%  Australian alpaca.

The wisteria coloured warp gives that calming influence to the soft colours in the Noro yarn. And do you see the different patterns on the opposite sides of the scarf?  At my usual nominal size of 1800mm x 200mm and weighing 150g, will it suit your fashion look this winter?

Champagne for Christmans

 Christmas is coming, so I got the champagne out.  Well, at least the champagne coloured 100% Australian alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands.  As a mixer I used a selection of Noro Kureopatora 100% wool yarns left over from previous projects.  The taste, or rather the look, are two multi-coloured hand-woven scarves, in two interesting patterns, for two lucky people.  Besides brightening up those cold winter days you will have the lovely feeling of wool and alpaca.  A Christmas delight for you.

Brown with colour

 Brown with colour.  How else can I describe my latest to hand-woven scarves?  The wool yarn from the Noro Kureopatora range has a lot of dark colours complemented with some brighter and lighter  colours.  These multicolours are highlighted against the mocha coloured warp from Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca yarn.  Two interesting patterns, these soft feeling wool and alpacca scarves will bring some colour and comfort to those cold winter days.

Wool and alpaca yarns woven into two scarves

 Two fibres, one wisteria coloured, the other multicoloured, hand-woven in two interesting patterns.  What results are two soft feeling scarves in a multitude of pastel colours in a wool from Noro Kureopatora and an alpaca from Tailored Strands.  Can you identify which fibre is which?  Nominally 1800mm x 200mm these scarves weigh 142g.
