Perth Upmarket

Had a successful stall at the Perth Upmarket on Sunday 26 June at UWA. You can see me and my stall in the following photo and also a close-up of my cashmere and alpaca scarves.

Wild raspberry and cyclamin cashmere

Have just completed two more scarves in time for the Perth Upmarket on 26 June at UWA.

The first is in a hand-dyed wild raspberry colour using a 4-ply cashmere yarn from Knitter's Addition. It is 1900mm x 190mm and weighs 128g.

The second is in a hand-dyed cyclamin colour using a 2/20 cashmere yarn from Japan. It is 1910mm x 200mm and weighs 80g. This is a really soft cashmere and the scarf is long and in an interesting colour.

Both scarves are in the same pattern, but the pattern is hard to see in the second scarf since the yarn has nicely fluffed up (or slightly felted).

Black and coloured

A new addition to my range of cashmere scarves is one in a black 4-ply cashmere yarn from Knitter's Addition. Being black, it is very difficult to see the pattern. It is 1650mm x 185mm and weighs 117g.

For something different I have woven a scarf using a multicoloured Murano yarn from Roberta di Camerino (Italian) as the weft and a rust coloured wool yarn as the warp. I first attempted to use the Murano yarn as the warp but the mohair tangled the adjacent warps and was not workable. It is 1710mm x 210mm and weighs 142g.

Both scarves will be on sale at Perth Upmarket on 26 June at UWA.

Chocolate and peachy cashmere

Since returning home from my UK/Sri Lanka holiday I have woven two scarves using 2-ply cashmere yarn from Knitter's Addiction. The first is in chocolate and is 1900mm x 220mm and weighs 84g.The second is in a colour called peachy and is 1810mm x 195mm and weighs 83g.Both scarves will be on sale at the Perth Upmarket on Sunday 26 June at UWA.
