Long Dragonfly Cowls
No shrinking violet here, a burst of colour and texture meandering through this cowl is certain to catch your eye. It is double length with a twist at the base. Wear it long, or twist it to go twice around, so it sits comfortably at the neck. It pairs perfectly with open necked Tshirts, tunics and dresses.
At Ashculme Textiles we walk gently on this precious earth. I hand weave each piece at my studio in rural NSW, using the yarn from our small herd of Suri Alpacas. The process is mostly here on the farm - after shearing, we clean the fleeces before sending them to a local mill where small batches are washed, carded & spun. I use natural dyes working with rain water that flows directly from the tank and on into the garden after use. In my weaving the designs come as I weave, allowing my fingers to instinctively create as they work.
Our small herd of suri alpacas live here on our farm and I watch them grazing contentedly from the window while I weave. The merino is Australian grown and processed, making our slow fashion products truly sustainable and ethical.
Alpaca fibre is resilient and this piece will keep its shape and softness for years.
Should you need to wash it, warm water, a ph neutral soap and minimal agitation is all it needs. Not to be tumble dried. If you wish, you can iron with a cool iron, protecting it with a tea towel.
