Noro Kureopatora handwoven scarf

Left-overs?  I remember them well!  My mum always put the left-overs from the dinner the previous evening on the table together with that evenings freshly cooked dinner.  Well, as we always ate the left-overs before tackling that days dinner we could not finish all todays food.  So, you guessed it, left-overs for tomorrow.  Consequently I can never throw away left-over yarns from my weaving projects.
Having hand-woven several different colours of a Noro Kureopatora 100% woollen yarns, I had quite a collection of left-overs.  These have now been hand-woven on a teal coloured  100% Australian alpaca yarn from Tailored Strand.  The various striping coloured bands from the Noro wool in two amazing patterns have given me two colourful scarves.  And a bonus they are long, being 1900mm x 185mm and weighing 142g.

More Noro Silk Garden sock and Australian alpaca handwoven scarves

What a summer we have had in Australia.  It seemed that the whole country was on fire.  How devastating the scorched and blackened bush now looks.  But sitting at my loom weaving my latest scarves I was reminded of the beauties of  Australia.
The first scarf brought back memories of the rain forests in the Great Otway National Park, on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, and in the Kuranda region of Queensland.  Then with the second I was transformed to the earthy colours of the Pilbara and Kimberley regions of Western Australia.  And all this coming from left overs of Noro Silk Garden Sock yarn (40 wool, 25 silk, 25 polyamide, 10 mohair) on a teal coloured 100% Australian Alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands.  These colours jump out from the two interesting patterns used, and the scarves are as warm and cosy as they look.  Each scarf is 1870mm x 200mm and weigh 142g.
