Description
Bright, happy colours & ridges go round and round this ring scarf - just the thing to keep you warm while brightening up a cold dull day.
Ring scarves / cowls are great - you pop them over your head and they cannot fall off. This one is 84cm around by 12cm wide - lovingly knitted to my own design and pattern. The yarn has been hand-spun from a blend of lovely luxury fibres - Cashmere, Blue Faced Leicester (that's a special breed of sheep), Angora (long-furred rabbit) and Tencel*.
If you are looking for items that are Made by Hand - honouring the ideals of Slow Fashion - you have come to the right place. My hand-knits from yarn I've hand-spun are Extremely Hand Made.
The yarn has gone through my hands 7 times ... 7 processes by hand. The fibre has also been processed by Hand before it comes to me. I buy my fibre from an Independent Fibre Artist whose studio is in the Yarra Valley - she:
Processes, Dyes, Cards, Blends the fibre ... all by Hand.
Then when I get my hands on that lovely fibre I:
Spin it (on a Majacraft spinning wheel)
Ply it (in that spinning wheel)
Skein it
Set it
Wind it into a ball
Then I Knit it and finally
Block it (a washing process - so it is beautiful and clean for you).
I doubt there are many things so completely Hand Made !
- Tencel aka Lyocell is a form of Rayon so a semi-synthetic. It is the most environmentally friendly form of Rayon. In hand-spinning fibre it has a slight shine and often dyes a slightly lighter shade than other fibres ... it is also very soft to the touch.
