Short Dragonfly Cowls
No shrinking violet here, a burst of colour and texture meandering through this cowl is certain to catch your eye. This cowl is a single length with the twist at the base. It is perfect for fresh summer evenings or to keep the autumn chill at bay.
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.
Approximate measurements
Width 35cm
Length 145cm
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.
