Multicoloured cashmere handwoven scarf

A potential buyer missed out on a cashmere scarf she was eyeing so asked me for another.  I have used up all my supply of 2-ply cashmere yarns but had a lot of leftovers from previous woven scarves.  With these leftovers I have hand-woven two multi-coloured stripped cashmere scarves on a fine Corriedale warp.  Whoa!!  Two  beautiful lightweight colourful scarves (14 different colours) that will make you the envy of all your friends.
Nominally 1760mm x 215mm and weighing 73g these scarves would normally appear at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle but I feel they will be snapped up before they reach the stores.

Noro Mossa #9 and emerald alpaca handwoven scarf

To brighten up these dismal winter days I have picked a brightly multi-coloured Noro Mossa yarn and hand-woven it with an emerald coloured Tailored Strands Australian alpaca yarn.
The Noro Moss yarn, being 52% wool, 16% viscose, 11% mohair, 11% silk and 10% nylon, has an interesting fluffy texture with colourful specks amongst the striped colours.  The two  multi-coloured scarves are in slightly different patterns and are nominally 1800mm x 210mm and weigh 176g.  An eye-catching fluffy scarf to keep you warm these cold winter days.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.

Mocha and mango Tailored Strands alpaca handwoven scarves

Two interesting alpaca scarves have been hand-woven using  Tailored Strands 4-ply Australian alpaca yarns.  I have used the same pattern for both but one is in a solid mocha colour whilst in the other the mango colour yarn has been used for the weft.  The two colour scarf shows up the pattern with the mango dominant on one side and mocha on the other.  The solid mocha scarf is 1700mm x 200mm and weighs 132g, whilst the two-tone scarf is 1810mm x 200mm and weighs 139g.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movements.

Tailored Strands Royal Blue and Ocean Blue alpaca handwoven scarves

The winter blues, are they for you?
I have hand-woven  two scarves in the same pattern using Tailored Strands Australian 4-ply alpaca yarns.  In the first I have used the Royal Blue colour for both the warp and the weft whilst in the second I substituted the Ocean Blue colour as the weft.
These two luxurious alpaca scarves, nominally 1830mm x 215mm and weighing 143g, from which you can choose either the solid dark blue, almost navy blue, colour, or the two-tones of blue.  This second scarf can be reversed to get either a predominately darker shade or  a lighter shade of blue.

Noro Mossa #11 and lavender Tailored Strands alpaca handwoven scarf

With those cold days that we are now occasionally experiencing I have the scarf for you!
I have hand-woven a Noro Mossa #11 yarn (52% wool, 16% viscose, 11% mohair, 115 silk, 10% nylon) with a Tailored Strands lavender coloured Australian alpaca yarn to give a bulky warm-feeling scarf.  Multicolours among the lavender background, this textured scarf may be reversed to give you two interesting scarves in one.  And for your information the scarf is nominally 1840mm x 210mm and weighs 170g.

Schachenmayr Winter Ombre and alpaca handwoven scarf

When in Andorra recently I could not resist purchasing 150g of Schachenmayr Winter Ombre yarn.  This is a 80% acrylic, 20% wool mix with interesting tones of light blue, gold and silver (OK you colour connoisseurs it maybe tan and grey but I am trying to promote my scarf!) spun into a single twist of varying thickness.
I have hand-woven this yarn as the weft on a warp of seachange coloured 4-ply Tailored Strands Australian alpaca.  The two blues are very similar so I have a scarf with interesting bands of subtle colours on a background of blue.
On the same warp I continued with the seachange coloured alpaca as the weft so have a solid coloured scarf in the same pattern.  Both scarves are very soft to touch in a lovely relaxing blue tone.  They are both nominally 1800mm x 230mm weighing 160g.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movements.

Handwoven scarf using DMC Natura Linen yarn

I have recently returned from a holiday in France and Spain.  In France I visited Montignac, the town close to the Grotte de Lascaux where the oldest rock paintings are found.  Whilst there I purchased 200g of DMC Natura Linen, colour 08, which is composed of 58% linen,26% viscose and 16% cotton, from which I have hand-woven it into a patterned scarf.
The varying thickness yarn adds an interesting feature in this lovely pastel green coloured scarf.  For those allergic to wool, this 1800mm x 205mm scarf weighing 176g will enhance your outfit whilst keeping you warm.

Hand-woven scarf from Sirdar Firefly #884 yarn

In response to a request from a friend I have hand-woven a scarf using Sirdar Firefly #884 yarn.  This is a 100% nylon yarn comprising two black threads with small coloured squares joining the two threads at regular intervals.  I have used this yarn as the warp and used a similar thickness black wool yarn as the weft.
The  result is an interesting open-weave, lightweight, black scarf with many colourful small squares.  The colours in yarn #884 are reds, pinks, orange and light brown.  The 1810mm x 230mm scarf only weighs 58g.  It wont keep you warm but will certainly add colour to your outfit.

Scarlet coloured Tailored Strands alpaca handwoven scarf

I have just been able to answer a cry for help.  A buyer of one of my scarves from The Artisan Store Fremantle left it behind at a friend's house in England when visiting recently. Thinking she was doing a good turn the friend washed the scarf, and surprise, surprise, it shrunk!  Gentle hand wash only, no machine washing.
Luckily I had some of the same 2-ply yarn left so have hand-woven a scarlet coloured Tailored Strands Australian alpaca scarf in the same yarn, pattern and size as the original. I now have to mail it off to the friend in Queensland.  I have just made two people happy!

Handwoven scarf from Noro Mossa #14 yarn

To continue with the buildup of my stock of Noro Mossa scarves I have hand-woven two in the same pattern using colour #14 with a lichen coloured Australian alpaca yarn as the warp.  The light green, or lichen colour, warp brings out the many coloured bands together with the multiple flecks of colour in the Noro Mossa yarn.
A bulky, soft feeling, colourful scarf, it will look great and be a pleasure to wear.  Both scarves are nominally 1800mm x 2100mm and weigh 168g.
See them both soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.

Back to Noro Mossa scarves

After my adventures with leftover cashmere yarns and a long holiday I have gotten around to weaving again.
I need to build up my stock of Noro Mossa scarves so have taken yarn #16 in this range and woven it  on a mango coloured Australian alpaca yarn.  The Noro Mossa yarn, comprising 52% wool, 16% viscose, 11% mohair, 11% silk and 10% nylon, gives an interesting texture with colourful specks together with Noro's characteristic multi-coloured stripping.  The mango coloured warp lightens up the otherwise dark colours in the Noro yarn resulting in a warm looking and warm feeling scarf for those winter days.  And to make things interesting I wove two scarves on the same warp but with different patterns.  Both scarves are nominally 1800mm x 210mm and weighs 166g.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.
