Black, plum and white cashmere

Have hand-woven two two-tone coloured scarves using 2/20 Kogane cashmere yarns. Both are woven in one of my own patterns. The pattern is different on each side.
The first is in black and white, and is 1860mm x 220mm and weighs 95g.
The second is in a hand-dyed plum colour and white, and is 1770mm x 220mm and weighs 88g.
See both scarves on my stall at Perth Upmarket at UWA on 23 September unless sold earlier.

Garnet dyed Kogane cashmere

My latest handwoven scarf is in a garnet coloured hand-dyed Kogane 2/20 cashmere yarn.
It is 1740mm x 210mm and weighs 83g. Sorry the pattern is a bit hard to see but the pattern shows circles rather than diamonds so is a bit different to usual.
It will be on my stall at the Perth Upmarket at UWA on 23 September.

2 handwoven Kogane cashmere scarves

I have switched to 2/20 cashmere yarns from Kogane which we have hand-dyed.

The second is dyed rust and is 1770mm x 205mm and weighs 86g.
Both will be on my stall at Perth Upmarket at UWA on 23 September.

Noro Blossom scarf

Having been impressed with the scarf I wove using a Noro Blossom yarn I purchased on a recent holiday, I was able to pick up the last four skeins of a different colour in Perth. The yarn is 40% wool, 30% kid mohair, 20% silk, 10% nylon, and results in a lovely soft scarf in a blaze of brilliant colours.
The scarf is in colour #24 and is 1820mm x 200mm and weighs 144g.
See it on my stall at Perth Upmarket at UWA on 23 September.

The second is in white and is 1810mm x 230mm and also weighs 161g.
These will be on my stall at Perth Upmarket on 23 September at UWA unless sold earlier.

I purchased some 4-ply cashmere yarns in the closing sale of Knitter's Addiction. I have now woven three scarves using the green, grey and purple yarns.
The first one is in Sangsai Green and is 1460mm x 210mm and weighs 131g.
The second is a grey yarn and is 1700mm x 230mm and weighs 149g.
The third used two of the colours; the previous grey and the purple. The scarf is 1620mm x 230mm and weighs 145g.
The three scarves will be on my Perth Upmarket stall at UWA on 23 September unless sold earlier.
