I must be in a blue mood as I have hand-woven two more blue tone scarves. The ocean blue and royal blue coloured Tailored Strands 100% Australian 4-ply alpaca yarns match beautifully. Do you like the two different patterns? and have you noticed the different pattern on the reverse sides? This is the first time I have used these patterns and I am very pleased with the results. What man would not like to wear these luxurious soft feeling scarves. I know that many a woman would love to wear them!
The first one in long, being 1930mm x 220mm and weighs 153g, whilst the second is more the normal length being 1800mm x 220mm and weighing 142g.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Hand-woven scarves using Full Circle Fibres cotton yarns
It is pleasing to be able to make a product which is 100% Australian made. Full Circle Fibres grow the cotton in Queensland, have it spun in Victoria, hand-dye it in Queensland, and then I have hand-woven it in Western Australia!
In the first scarf I have taken their ocean and cornflower dyed cotton and hand-woven them into a patterned scarf with the ocean as the warp and the cornflower as the weft. The yarns are not solid dyed so some specks of white appear to add interest to the appearance.
In the second scarf I have used the jade coloured yarn as the warp and the crimson as the warp in an equally interesting pattern.
Both scarves are nominally 1830mm x 210mm and weigh 157g. These scarves will appeal to cotton lovers, or those allergic to wool whilst proudly being 100% Australian.

Hand-woven Full Circle Fibres hand-dyed cotton scarf
If you like to buy 100% Australian products you don't need to look pass this latest hand-woven scarf. Made from 100% Australian cotton yarns from Full Circle Fibres (FCF), it is grown in St George, Queensland, spun in Victoria, hand-dyed by FCF, and finally hand-woven by me in Perth, Western Australia.
The hand-dyed colours of fushia, charcoal and purple give an interesting mix of colours in a woven pattern. If you are a cotton enthusiast you will love this scarf which is 1870mm x 215mm and weighs 155g.

Noro Kibou and Tailored Strands alpaca
Noro Kibou is a yarn made from 54% cotton, 34% wool and 12% silk. This time I have hand-woven this yarn on a warp of Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca yarn coloured champagne. A lovely soft coloured scarf emerges with interesting flashes of spring time colours. The scarf is 1740mm x 190mm and weighs 143g.
I completed on the same warp a second scarf using the champagne alpaca as the weft besides as the warp. A lovely patterned soft 100% alpaca scarf in a solid champagne (or oatmeal) colour. Not only will it feel and look luxurious, it will complement your darker favoured colours. This one is 1730mm x 200mm and weighs 125g.

Full Circle Fibres with Noro Kibou handwoven scarf
Full Circle Fibres are spun from their own 100% Australian cotton. I have taken their hand-dyed coloured choc cotton yarn and used it as the warp on to which I have hand-woven Noro Kibou #7 (a 54% cotton, 34% wool, 12% silk mix). The greens, browns and occasional reds and whites give the patterned scarf an interesting array of spring colours. For cotton wearers this will be a treat if you can tolerate the small amount of wool and silk. The scarf is 1830mm x 190mm and weighs 160g.

Hand-woven Noro Kureopatora scarves
It is always a challenge to pick one yarn to weave with another. I am on edge to see how they blend as you start to weave and then you see your decision unfold before your eyes. My latest match of Noro Kureopatora #1026 (100% wool) with mocha coloured Tailored Strands Australian alpaca is a winner. I love the vibrant colours of the Noro yarn against the dark brown alpaca. These scarves are not only beautiful to look at as they are also so soft and warm. Indulge yourself and buy one now. They are 1800mm x 180mm and weigh 140g.
Buy direct from me or wait to see them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.
