How pretty is this? handwoven, hand-felted, hand-dyed.
scarves in the seaweed style are unmistakable for their gentle felted stripes running the length of the scarf. to create these stripes, the scarves are hand-felted after being woven. this causes the warp stripes of fine merino wool to shrink and felt while the raw silk warp and cotton weft don't shrink at all, creating seer-sucker ruffles. after being hand-felted, each scarf is hand-dyed in a dye that only dyes animal fibres (raw silk and merino wool) while leaving plant fibres (cotton) unaffected. through this process of over-dyeing, each scarf has a unique, multi-tone colour.
