Claret coloured handwoven alpaca scarves

Cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, merlot, but no claret available in our bottle shops.  Never mind, I can help you recall those good old times by providing a claret coloured 100% Australian alpaca hand-woven scarf to put around your neck.  And for a challenge the scarf design gives you the opportunity to embroider your company, sport club or personal logo on one or both ends.  If you like the challenge but the base colour is not to your choice, let me know and I can weave others to suit your taste.
Not adventurous, well these luxurious feeling scarves are smart looking in their current form and sure to please, being nominally 1880mm x 220mm and weighing 140g.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movements.

Scarlet alpaca handwoven scarves

Scarlet O'hara, scarlet alpaca.   The winds have all gone and it's all calm on the river today.  Well what else can I say to introduce you to my scarlet coloured alpaca scarves hand-woven from 100% Australian 2-ply yarns from Tailored Strands?
Striking colour, interesting patterns, luxurious feel, all in these lightweight scarves of 1500mm x 200mm weighing 98g.  Shorter than usual as I was using the last of my stock of this yarn, but nevertheless, a good size to tuck into your jacket or coat.

Ocean blue alpaca hand-woven scarves

Looking our of my apartment I have this glorious view looking upstream of the Swan River - a very peaceful view.  Sometimes still, sometimes rippling, sometimes churned up  by the wind.  At the moment in winter the river is brown looking but often in summer it is a lovely blue colour.  To remind me of the summer, and its warmth, I have hand-woven two ocean blue  coloured 100% Australian alpaca scarves from Tailored Strands yarn.
In two different patterns these luxurious feeling and appealing scarves will be popular, and give you a winter warm.  And each being nominally 1840mm x 215mm and weighing 163g you will have value for your money.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.  If you cant wait till then, then please contact me direct.

Noro Kibou hand-woven scarves

Noro Kibou is a yarn containing 54% cotton, 34% wool and 12% silk.  Its features are the striping colours that occur along its length so resulting in a variety of coloured bands.
I have hand-woven it on a fine light brown warp of Corriedale wool from Bilby Yarns, a Western Australian product. The warp is hardly noticeable against the thicker and colourful Kibou yarn.  Do these country colours and a scarf of 1650mm x 215mm and weighing 115g appeal?
In the second scarf I used a thicker (4-ply) mocha coloured alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands as the warp.  The darker warp gives a dominant background to the multiple colours in the Noro Kibou yarn and highlights the pattern.  Interesting how the background colour influences the overall impression of the scarf.  This will appeal to those that like longer scarves as this one is 1870mm x 200mm and weighs 150g.
