New growth colours in hand-woven alpaca and wool scarves

 Fed up with winter?  Never fear, spring is around the corner with its sprouting of new growth and accompanying colours.  You too can indulge yourself in these amazing spring colours with a choice of one of my two new scarves.

Hand-woven in Noro Kureopatora, 100% wool, in multiple bands of colour on a 100% Australian alpaca lichen coloured yarn from Tailored Strands.  Soft colours with a soft feel, be part of the colour scene this spring.

Both scarves are nominally 1800mm x 190mm and weigh 155g.  See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Australian native bush colours in handwoven scarves

 Where have all the flowers gone?  The Australian countryside is not always ablaze with colour.  Remember the dry greens and browns of our native bush?

Two scarves have been hand-woven illustrating our native bush.  Using a multiple coloured Noro Kureopatora 100% Australian wool together with champagen coloured 100% Australian alpaca from Tailored Strands the colours merge perfectly.  You even have a choice of two patterns in these snug, warm luxurious scarves of 1800mm x 210mm and weighing 150g.

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

Cyclamen alpaca handwoven scarves

 The Western Australian wildflower season approaches.  Pink is in the air, or rather in the abundance of flowers that brightens up our countryside.  Why let nature have all the colour?

Two lovely hand-woven cyclamen coloured (or you might call it pink) alpaca scarves in a 100% Australian alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands will let you join mother nature.  In an interesting pattern and with the softness of alpaca what more could you want.  Both are 1820mm x 220mm and weigh 160g.

See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle, or you might find one at the Leanne White Studio Gallery in Nannup after we attend the Nannup Flower and Garden Festival this weekend.

My wildflower scarves

With all these winter rains we can expect a fabulous show of wildflowers in Western Australia this year.  Remember the vast array of colours if you look closely amongst the ground cover.  So, my wildflower scarf for you.  How many colours can you find?

Handwoven from 100% wool from Noro Kureopatora and a cyclamen coloured 100% alpaca yarn from  Tailored Strands - all Australian fibres.  A choice of two, nominally    1800mm x 190mm and weighing 150g, join in with the colours this year.

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

Emerald green handwoven alpaca scarf

 How green is my valley?  The Welsh coal mining valleys are grim but in Australia our valleys are green in the spring rains.

To welcome spring how about an emerald green hand-woven 100% Australian alpaca scarf from Tailored Strands yarn?  An interesting open net pattern and the warmth of alpaca for those nippy spring mornings.  What more do you want?  Are you fussy?   Well it is 1800mm x 215mm and weighs 150g.

Sea-change coloured hand-woven alpaca scarf

 Have you been penned in due to the Covid restrictions?  I can offer you a "sea-change".  Well that is the colour of the scarf I have just finished hand-weaving.   A 100% Australian alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands, hand-woven in an interesting pattern, this 1800mm x 220mm hand-woven scarf weighing 148g will freshen up your day.  A lovely warm feeling colourful scarf soon to be available at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Mid-grey hand-woven alpaca scarves

 After a bit of colour I have now resorted to a discrete formal business man's scarf.  In mid-grey colour from the Tailored Strands 100% Australian 4-ply alpaca yarn, this will give your man a feel-good, look-good, accessory for his business trips.  Or if you rather, you can wear it yourself to match your own smart gear.

Whichever way, you can see it soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Two scarlet coloured alpaca scarves

 Do you like long scarves?  My latest hand-woven scarves are 1910mm x 220mm and 1870mm x 220mm!  Not certain how that happened.  Much less shrinkage when coming off the tension on the loom and from washing.  Nevertheless, the scarlet coloured scarves in 2-ply alpaca yarn from Tailored Strands are amazing in colour, pattern and touch.  Guaranteed to brighten up any fashion in your wardrobe.
