This scarf is perfect for either men or women. It is soft and warm, being woven from pure naturally dyed alpaca. The ends are hand stitched, a process done on the loom alongside the weaving. This scarf will add a touch of unique style to your winter outfit. Wrap it around your neck when heading out the door on a chilly winter’s day, or dress it up by knotting it and pairing it with smart shoes and jacket. Either way, the combination of dark grey and chocolate brown will add understated elegance to any outfit,
This scarf is handwoven by myself, Fiona, on one of my floor looms. From design concept, through the dyeing and weaving to the finished product, I create each piece with attention to detail, always allowing the design to change and grow. The yarn comes from our herd of alpacas, the brown undyed, coming from Oscar, one of our two males.
Suri is the softest of alpaca fibres. it’s a little heavier than wool and will drape elegantly around the body – it’s warmer than wool too, so even though this scarf is light, you will feel extra cosy on those cool days and chilly nights.
Alpaca fibre is resilient will keep its shape and softness for years.
Should you need to wash it, do so by hand only, squeezing out excess water by folding it in a towel and pressing down. Do not wring. Dry laid out flat. Not to be tumble dried. Iron with a cool iron, protecting it with a cotton or linen tea towel.
