Do you like autumn colours? If so, I have the scarf for you.
Hand-woven in a multi autumn coloured mohair yarn on a mango coloured alpaca warp these scarves have just that! They are fluffy, due to the mohair, lightweight (80g), and soft feeling. Perfect for the coming autumn. And just to let you know they are 1820mm x 210mm.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending on stock movements.
Black or white? What is your choice?
These are your choices of two scarves hand-woven from Moda Vera Gentile yarns, a 92% nylon, 8% lurex blend. An interesting yarn with two parallel threads connected occassionally along the yarn with coloured patches. I have adopted a loose weave giving a fish-net feel. The results are delicate scarves, lightweight, but decorative. They are nominally 1800mm x 160mm and weigh 30g.
They may appear at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle, but they may be too delicate to put on display at these locations.
Fawn, furry and fluffy.
Well, what else would you expect when you hand weave Filatura Di Crosa Butterfly yarn (50% mohair, 50% acrylic) with a 100% champagne coloured alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands.
Two scarves in two different patterns nominally 1800mm x 215mm and weighing 110g. They feel very soft and will sure keep you warm, with good looks to go with it. Do they match the fashions in your wardrobe?

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.

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.
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?

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.
