More Noro Taiyo Sport handwoven scarves

I have hand-woven another Noro Taiyo Sport yarn into 2 scarves each with a different pattern.  This time I have used the 60% cotton, 15% silk, 15% wool, 10% polyamide yarn as the warp so have longitudinal stripes, with a light brown silk weft.  So different to my usual Noro based scarves.  The cotton/silk/wool mix gives a cooler feeing with the eye-catching colours.  The scarves are a little shorter than usual, being nominally 1685mm x 200mm and weighing 126g.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.

Handwoven scarves in Noro Taiyo Sport #15 and silk

I am out of season again as I have hand-woven a cotton and silk scarf more appropriate for spring.  But luckily our clientele in Perth include overseas visitors from the Northern Hemisphere so they are going home to spring.
I have hand-woven Noro Taiyo Sport #15 yarn (60% cotton, 15% silk, 15% wool, 10% polyamide) on a hand-dyed lime green silk warp.  I have a choice of two patterns in these two scarves nominally 1820mm x 200mm and weighing 105g.  /The self striping Noro yarns give a range of spring-like colours with the cool feeling of cotton and silk.  Will they enhance your outfit with that individual touch?
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.
