Primula and orchid cashmere hand-woven scarves

With Christmas upon us I have turned to red; actually primula and orchid hand-dyed cashmere yarns.  From these I have hand-woven two scarves in slightly different patterns and with a check look.  They are lovely light-weight and luxuriously soft scarves that you could wear now in the summer to add some colour to your fashion, or wait for the cooler weather of autumn.  Or they would be great for the upcoming spring for our northern hemisphere friends.  Both scarves are nominally 1780mm x 220mm and weigh 82g.




They will be on sale at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Yellow and gold hand-woven woollen scarf

Have just completed a very interesting patterned hand-woven woollen scarf.  The warp was a woollen yarn hand-dyed in gold and brown.  The frequency of the gold and brown is such that coloured blotches occur along the weft rather than coloured strips.  The weft was a single thread of varying thickness and coloured yellow.  This variable thickness adds interest to the woven pattern which itself is different on both sides of the scarf.  The scarf, being 1830mm x 220mm and weighing 116g, is a soft, striking accessory that will make you stand out from the crowd.




It will be on sale at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending  upon stock movements.
