Lavender inspired hand-woven Noro Mossa/alpaca scarves

One of my favourite  places is walking over the Heaton Warren from Totland Bay to Alum Bay on the Isle of Wight.  As you come over the top you suddenly have The Needles appear, and if  you do the walk in August you are also in a "sea" of heather. I am reminded of this walk by my latest two scarves.
I have used Noro Moss #11 (52 wool, 16 viscose, 11 mohair, 11 silk, 10 nylon) with a lavender coloured Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca yarn.  It has the two colours of the heather, the light shades of the sandy soils and speckles of  colour depicting the other fauna and flora of the heathland.  Besides that  they are lovely bulky, warm scarves for those winter days.  Oh, and if interested, they are nominally 1860mm x 200mm and weigh 160g.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.

Noro Mossa #16 and Tailored Strands mango alpaca hand-woven scarves

Oopps, have I got my seasons wrong?  In trying to clear out my stock of Noro Mossa yarns I realise that I have hand-woven scarves in Autumn colours.  But Autumn follows Summer so may not be too bad!
I have used a Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca yarn, coloured mango, as the warp and the Noro Mossa #16 yarn (52 wool, 16 viscose, 11 mohair, 11 silk, 10 nylon) as the weft.  In the two patterns used the mango warp winds its way along through the various striped autumn colours in the weft.  They look warm and these bulky feeling scarves, with their various textures and specks of colour, will certainly keep you warm.  One is 1730mm x 200mm and weighs 166g whilst the second is 1860mm x 200mm and weighs 177g.

Hand-woven scarves from Noro Mossa #1 and Tailored Strands wisteria alpaca

A little bit of Japanese, a little bit of Australian.  Actually I don't speak any of either but at least I can weave their yarns.  This time I have used Noro Mossa #1 yarn (52% wool, 16% viscose, 11% mohair, 11% silk, 10% nylon) as the weft on a Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca warp coloured wisteria.  Maybe winter colours but these bulky textured yarns will feel snug and warm.
The scarves are nominally 1860mm x 205mm and weigh 167g, and you have the choice of two patterns.  See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park (one already in store) or The Artisan Store Fremantle, depending upon stock movements.

Hand-woven scarf from Oz Hiroko's hand-spun merino yarns

I have taken nine different coloured merino yarns hand-spun by Oz Hiroko and hand-woven them into a longitudinal stripped scarf.  A natural coloured light brown Corriedale yarn was used as the weft.  Being 1780mm x 195mm and weighing 125g, this scarf will complement many of your outfits whilst keeping you snug and warm at the same time.

Hand-woven, hand-spun merino scarf

I have hand-woven in longitudinal strips six colours of a merino wool hand-spun by Oz Hiroko.  The weft is a 2-ply natural coloured Western Australian Corriedale wool yarn.  With four different blue colours and a green and a grey this stripped woollen scarf will add class to the professional man's attire this winter besides keeping him warm.

Red cotton hand-woven scarves

For those wool intolerant people, or just for a change, I have hand-woven two identical patterned scarves using a red coloured Yeoman's cotton 2-ply yarn.  These two brightly coloured  scarves weigh less than 100g and are nominally 1740mm x 225mm in size.  If you like cotton, then these may be for you.  Or it maybe you wish to bring a Christmas colour to your outfit!

Bendigo Wool Sock Yarn handwoven scarves

A red/orange multi coloured sock yarn from Bendigo Woollen Mills (70% superwash merino wool and 30%  nylon) has been used as the warp in two scarves.  A natural coloured fawn wool yarn has been used as the weft in one scarf whilst a red possum/wool yarn has been used in the second.  Despite using the same pattern, two distinct scarves have resulted.  What a marked difference occurs when changing the colour of the weft!  Two interesting, mainly wool, scarves, which are nominally 1690mm x 220mm and weighing 130g.

Claret and grey handwoven alpaca scarves

After weaving these two scarves I thought "what a perfect pair for a his and a hers".  Woven using claret and grey colours in the range  of Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca, and in the same pattern, the change from a claret weft to a grey weft results in a striking pair of scarves.  Alpaca at its best, with a strong claret colour against a grey.  With both being nominally 1830mm x 220mm and weighing 146g, they make an excellent matching pair.
Buy them now direct, or wait to see them at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movements.

Teal coloured Tailored Strands alpaca handwoven scarf

Is it green or is it blue?  Well, Tailored Strands call this 100% Australian Alpaca yarn by the name Teal!  A colour suitable for both ladies and gentlemen, this scarf  has the lovely soft feel of alpaca and the pattern gives it an interesting texture.  A luxurious warm scarf for those cold nights and days.  For those interested it is 1820mm x 215mm and weighs 145g.  See it soon at Aspects of Kings Park or the Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movements.

Ocean blue Tailored Strands alpaca handwoven scarves

After several multi-coloured scarves I have chosen to hand weave two scarves in a plain old blue.  Actually ocean blue Tailored Strands 100% Australian alpaca.  I now have two beautiful blue scarves in a choice of patterns. Both are lovely and soft as you would expect from alpaca and bring you a cooling colour.  The scarves are nominally 1780mm x 220mm and weigh 156g.
