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.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon previous sales.

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.
