Hand-woven Noro Kureopatora scarves

It is always a challenge to pick one yarn to weave with another.  I am on edge to see how they blend as you start to weave and then you see your decision unfold before your eyes.  My latest match of Noro Kureopatora #1026 (100% wool) with mocha coloured Tailored Strands Australian alpaca is a winner.  I love the vibrant colours of the Noro yarn against the dark brown alpaca.  These scarves are not only beautiful to look at as they are also so soft and warm.  Indulge yourself and buy one now.  They are 1800mm x 180mm and weigh 140g.
Buy direct from me or wait to see them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.

Hand-woven scarves using Noro Kureopatora yarn

Do you want an eyeful of bands of bright colours?  This is what I have when hand-weaving Noro Kureopatora #1017 yarn (100%wool) with a lavender coloured Tailored Strands Australian alpaca.  Two similar looking scarves but with slightly different patterns.  These wool and alpaca scarves are sure to brighten up your winter days and keep you warm at the same time.  They are nominally 1740mm x 200mm and weigh 145g.

Two sock yarns in hand-woven scarves

As a bit of variation I have taken two sock yarns to put around your ears!
With Bendigo multicoloured sock yarn, purple pink multi (70% wool, 30% nylon), as the warp and Noro Silk Garden Sock yarn S43 (40% wool, 25% silk, 25% polyamide, 10% mohair) as the weft I have hand-woven two scarves in two different patterns.  They are a little short, being nominally 1650mm x 210mm and weighing 137g, but still long enough to wrap around your ears or in any other style that you like.  The varying thickness of the Noro yarn gives some interesting texture within the  woven pattern.  Two warm scarves for those winter days.

Noro Mossa #14 hand-woven scarf

Have you drunk the last of your summer wine?  I have just hand-woven the last of my stock of Noro Mossa yarns.  A mixture of 52% wool, 16% viscose, 11% mohair, 11% silk and 10% nylon, this yarn has an abundance of colours and textures.  Weaving it on a warp of lichen coloured Australian alpaca I have a bulky, soft, colourful, green based, long scarf of 1860mm x 205mm and weighing 166g.  And with all that you also have a patterned scarf with different appearances on each side.
See it soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle.

More hand-woven scaves using Noro Kibou #15

I was a little apprehensive when I started using a dark blue cotton warp upon which to weave a weft of Noro Kibou #15 (54% cotton, 34% wool, 12% silk) yarn.  But whoa, what a spectacular result!
The two scarves, in slightly different patterns, are ablaze with an array of twinkling colours on a background of blue.  These soft touch scarves will be a pleasure to wear and are nominally 1730mm x 195mm and weigh 112g.

Hand-woven Noro Kibou scarves

Autumn last week, spring this week.  With our national and international visitors we have to cater for all seasons year round.  This time I reflect on the spring and the lovely memories of cherry blossom in Japan.  I have hand-woven Noro Nibou #16 (54% cotton, 34% wool, 12% silk) with a fawn coloured possum/merino mix.  The two different patterns in the two scarves are hard to discern against the multiple twisted colours in the Noro yarn.  But the new growth colours and their cooling effects make for two lovely soft scarves of nominal size 1750mm x 190mm and weighing 120g.
