Short Indigo Cowls
These cowls are single length with the twist at the base. They are perfect for fresh summer evenings or to keep the autumn chill at bay.
The colour that goes with everything. These light weight cowls, warm and soft and handwoven with a fine Australian merino and our own alpaca, are also hand dyed with natural organic indigo.
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.
