Are you in the pink, or having a blue? Now you can have both together. A pink coloured Hayfield luxury mohair yarn (80% mohair, 10% acrylic, 10% nylon) woven on a royal blue 100% Australian alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands. This eyecatching scarf not only will look good but keep you warm with a lovely soft feeling. Being 1740mm x 230mm and weighing 104g it fits all sizes!!!

Whilst "Op Shopping" in Wyalkatchem during a recent wildflower trip in the Central Wheatbelt I came across some bags of colourful mohair yarns. They became my souvenir of my holiday!
Now I have two identical scarves from using the lavender and grey Shepherd Ezotik yarn (77% mohair, 14% wool, 9% nylon) as the weft on a warp of lavender coloured 100% Australian alpaca from Tailored Strands. They are fluffy, 1790mm x 200mm, and yet lightweight (96g) scarves. Lovely to see and lovely to feel.
If they appeal see them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.
A bit of variety this time as I have two scarves to show you.
Blue, or maybe tourquoise, but what a lovely colour. I think it is a fine silk thread with loops. No pattern is needed as the texture and colour of the yarn are the features of the scarf. A lightweight (67g) and long (1930mm x 215mm) scarf, the colour "sold" it to the first person who saw it. Sorry it has gone!
Whilst wildflower chasing in the Central Wheatbelt we found ourselves in an Op Shop in Wyalkatchem. Now I have a scarf featuring a lovely brown with a golden fleck coloured 100% wool yarn from Paton Totem with a mango coloured alpaca strip. This thick woolly scarf will keep you warm on those chilly winter days. If interested in this 1680mm x 190mm scarf weighing 174g see it soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.
A striking multicolourful scarf has arisen using Noro Kureopatora 100% wool yarn with a mocha coloured 100% alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands. The dark brown alpaca acts as a great background to the multicolourful strips so characteristic with Noro yarns. A gorgeous scarf for these chilly spring days. And for the record it is 1830mm x 185mm and weighs 148g.
A unique scarf which you will be able to see soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.
What do you do when a friend gives you a bag containing bundles of yarns? Bits and pieces of 13 different fibres? Well, you sort them into colours that blend together and sufficient quantity for a 2.7m warp. Then arrange the colours, and width and frequency of stripes, for the warp so as to use up all the available yarns. Finally choose an appropriate coloured thin fibre to use as the weft. And away you go, in this case in plain, or tabby, weave.
The result is five interesting funky scarves! Actually not bad for a lot of left over yarns. And now my friend has five colourful scarves instead of a bag of forgotten yarns.
Do you like the Great Southern? On a visit to Albany recently I purchased three 100g skeins of hand-dyed merino wool from a stall at the Boat Shed Markets on a Sunday morning. These have been used as the warp on three hand-woven scarves and with 100% Australian alpaca yarns from Tailored Strands as the weft. Three different patterns in three different colours but three lovely looking and warm feeling scarves. Each scarf is nominally 1570mm x 220mm and weighing 150g.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle, depending upon stock movement.
Are you a tennis tragic? Then I have the scarf for you. An Ashleigh Barty Wimbledon Special!
Woven in the mauve and green of the Wimbledon Championship, or in my case lavender and emerald green, it is a great souvenir of Ashleigh's Wimbledon triumph in July of this year. The 100% Australian alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands will give you that look good, feel good, warm winter luxurious scarf. And the pattern is not bad too!.
Not a tennis tragic? Then you can select the complementary lavender coloured scarf in the same pattern.
Buy now direct from the weaver, or see them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.
Fancy a mocha? No, not a drink, but a mocha coloured scarf hand-woven in a 100% Australian alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands. A choice of two patterns, these smart looking, soft, luxurious scarves will give you that confidence to mix with your peers. And at the same time keep you warm from those winter blues.
