From my scraps of Noro Kureopatora, great things grow.
Hand-woven on an ocean blue coloured 100% Australian alpaca from Tailored Strands these 100% Australian wool Noro Kureopatora yarns have produced an interesting coloured and patterned scarf. Being 1630mm x 200mm and weighing 137g does it fit your size. Of course it does, how big do you want it?

The end of an era. I have just hand-woven the last two balls that I have of Noro Kureopatora 100% Australian wool. Noro Blossom, Noro Mossa, and now Noro Kureopatora no longer available.
The variable colours in the yarn give rise to the strippedf bands of colours for which Noro are renowned for. I weave the 100% banded colours on a warp of 100% Australian alpaca from Tailored Strands. This time the theme is blue, using the ocean blue coloured alpaca yarn. Colourful, soft feeling and sure to keep you warm and for the record they are nominally 1800mm x 200mm and weigh 150g.

Continuing my series of longitudinal stripped scarves I have used stripes of emerald green, mocha brown, lavender and wisteria tied together with a champagne coloured yarn: All 100% Australian alpaca yarns from Tailored Strands.
Colourful, soft feeling and two patterns to choose from. Are you spoilt for choice?

Growing up on the Isle of Wight I could see from my bedroom window the two towers of Osborne House across the River Medina. Last month I visited Osborne House with my daughter and eldest grandson. A royal home, a majestic setting.
Memories are now captured in two hand-woven scarves. Claret and gold, those two bold colours associated with royalty.
Hand-woven using yarns of 100% Australian alpaca from Tailored Strands, the scarves, one long and one short, not only look great but feel great,

Wisteria and Lavender. Do you have them in your garden? If not, you can wear them as an accessory.
A lovely hand-woven scarf using 100% Australian alpaca from Tailored Strands in these colours and in an interesting pattern. A one-off design. Soft feeling, elegant and colourful. How can you go wrong?

What unites claret, champagne, mango and sea-change? They are all colours in the range of 100% Australian alpaca yarns from Tailored Strands.
How shall I mix them? In longitudinal stripes of claret, mango and sea-change held together in an identical pattern with, in one case, champagne, and the other, claret. One light background, one dark background, which appeals to you?
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?

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.
