Blue Laced Red Wyandotte
Blue Laced Red Wyandotte
Quite a name for a chicken isn’t it! But I do admire it’s plummage and this scarf is my take on that, with some poetic licence taken for the neck feathers. The Warp yarns are commercially dyed fine silks, used 2 and 3 fold, and the weft yarns are my usual 30/2s Chinese spun silk hand dyed in my workshop. The scarf measures approximately 12” by 68”, plus the twisted tassels at either end.
Care instructions: the scarf can be washed in tepid water with a detergent, (I use shampoo), and is best hung up to dry and then steam pressed to bring out the natural sheen of the silk.
Item price includes gift box and UK postage.
Carolyn is a hand loom weaver working from her home studio in Farnham, specializing in one of a kind scarves in100% spun silk yarn, which produces a soft fabric that drapes beautifully and has a lovely sheen. The silk yarn is dyed by her to the colours desired for the next piece to be woven. She achieves her colours with both synthetic and natural dyes. Inspiration for a design can come from almost anywhere, but especially from nature.
