Artist Palette poncho – The colours of the palette come to life in this multi gradient versatile trans-seasonal poncho.
This is woven from 100% fine cotton with a multi coloured gradient base using 9 shades = from green through blue, purple to red. This is a very time intensive process as each individual colour change must be tied off.
The same colours were used in the design weave. Also, a time intensive weave as each colour change necessitates a shuttle and yarn change, balancing numerous colours at a time. Concentration is key to keep the pattern correct. It is beautifully soft and light, full of texture due to the intricate weave structure and colour changes.
This original design poncho cape is versatile – and warm. The opening can be worn front and center, or off to one side. On very windy days you can use a brooch to bring the neck opening closer to your body. This looks especially nice when worn to the side. It can also be belted across the front for a boho style look.
Great wrap to guard against wind and cold. It has weight and can be worn outdoors pedaling your bike or on a walk, or on the sofa watching Netflix. Also a perfect companion for sitting on the veranda in the evening or morning, drinking coffee or sipping wine coolers!
The front/side seam and the entire neckline have been hand finished for a neat professional rounded look and to avoid loosening.
The cloth is soft and drapey. It has been machine washed in a lingerie bag, line dried, then pressed.
Materials: 100% fine cotton from Brassard. Hand twisted fringe. Machine wash possible.

This one-off piece is Work 203. I never weave the same cloth or item twice. Every piece is unique and numbered, every creation has a story to tell.
The cotton I buy is from Maurice Brassard in Québec. This is one of the world’s finest cotton spun yarns. Cotton is a natural fibre that is soft, breathable and absorbent. Cotton can be cool, yet offer warmth, is strong, and can stand up against abrasion wear and high temperature. In one word, cotton is comfortable.
Dimensions: neck opening 14″ – 36cm // width 24″ – 61cm // length w/o fringe 71″ – 180cm // fringe 5″ – 13cm.
