Lavender and wisteria coloured alpaca scarves

 Same warp, same pattern, why so different?  What a difference the choice of weft has made.

Two hand-woven scarves using 100% Australian alpaca from Tailored Strands.  The warp in both is lavender and wisteria coloured yarns.  In the first, the weft is emerald green.  The colours remind me of Wimbleton, anyone for tennis?  The second repeats allternatively the warp colours in the weft so giving the check-board effect.

Which of these lovely looking, cosy comfortable, warm wearing, accessory appears to you?

See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Three seasons in a handwoven alpaca scarf

 Remember those country vistas in Europe?  The new "young" green of spring, the lush deep green of summer and the bare brown trees in winter?  I bring you these colours in two hand-woven scarves.

Using the lichen, emerald and mocha colours in the Tailored Strands range of 100% Australian alpaca yarns I bring these colours in longitudinal stripes.  One with a lichen (light green) weft and one with an emerald (deep green) weft.  Lovely colours, lovely pattern, lovely alpaca feel and warmth.

Two blues and a purple coloured alpaca scarves

 Two blues and a purple.  In strips, one with a wisteria background, one with a royal blue background.  What a difference the background makes.

These two scarves are hand-woven using 100% Australian alpaca from Tailored Strands.  Which appeals to you?  Maybe the light coloured one for the lady and the dark based one for the gent.  Soft, luxurious feel, you cant go wrong.

See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Two colourful stripped handwoven alpaca scarves

 Do you like bright colours?  How about claret, mango, sea-change, cyclamen?  Well, I have two scarves hand-woven in 100% Australian alpaca from Tailored Strands.

In two different patterns, and one with a champagne coloiured weft and the other in a mocha coloured weft.  What a difference the "background" colour makes.  Which do you like?

The two amazing, soft, luxurious alpaca scarves are 1790mm x 210mm and weigh 150g.  See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending on stock movements.

My 900th handwoven scarf

 Would you believe?  I have just hand-woven my 900th scarf!

To make it special it features 4 patterns and 13 colours.  Can you find them all?

Hand-woven using 100% Australian alpaca from Tailored Strands, this is a gem.  And to accompany it the second scarf is in one pattern and 14 colours.  Can you spot the extra colour?  It only occurs once.

My daughter tells me I should kept it and not sell it.  Do you agree?

More of my scarves can be seen at Aspects of Kings Park, The Artisan Store Fremantle and the Studio Gallery in Nannup.  You too can have a Vectis Ori scarf.

Light green, mango, dark brown handwoven scarves

 Take one base colour, dark brown, and add in one case lichen green, and the other, mango. What do you get?

Choice of green or pink based alpaca scarves

 Do you like green or pink?  How about Australian wool and alpaca?

A choice of either of these two colours but in both fibres.  The Noro Kureopatora 100% Australian wool with its bands of colours are on a base colour of 100% Australian alpaca from Tailored Strands.  Colourful, variable, and each unique.  Your choice.
