A natural, and a coloured, alpaca hand-woven scarf

To complete my stock for the Perth Upmarket tomorrow at UWA I have woven two scarves using yarns from Shamwani Alpaca Stud, a WA product.
The first is using a natural coloured light brown yarn.  With only 200g of this thick yarn the size of the scarf is restricted to 1520mm x 215mm and weighs 173g.  A lovely neutral colour suitable for a gent or lady.

The second is a hand-dyed blue coloured yarn.  It was supposed to be the Sky colour from the Landscape range of dyes but is much lighter, and will be difficult to repeat.  Nevertheless, I expect it to be a popular colour.   A full size scarf being 1810mm x 210mm from a thick yarn it weighs 208g.  If you like a thick, long scarf in a beautiful soft blue colour you will like this one.




If not sold this weekend both scarves will be on the Shamwani Alpaca stall at Kalamunda Market and/or the Beaufort Street Market next weekend.
