Paul’s Plaid 9. Handwoven shawl in fine merino – another entry in my design series inspired by and in remembrance of the shirts worn by my father.
The yarn has been hand dyed in shades of greys and burnt reds. Added to this are vertical stripes in a coral red. Woven in stripes and blocks adding depth to the cloth.
The perfect companion for sitting on the veranda in the evening or morning, drinking coffee or sipping wine coolers! Perfect for an evening out, or snuggling on the sofa or deck. It can be worn as a boho poncho with belt, as a stole, or wrap. The fine wool also allows the shawl to be worn as a neck scarf as the cloth is incredibly soft and supple.
The shawl is squishy soft, drapey and warm.
The shawl has been hand washed and dried, then pressed.
Materials: 100% fine hand dyed NZ merino. Hand twisted fringe. Hand wash only.

This one-off piece is Work 235. I never weave the same cloth or item twice. Every piece is unique and numbered, every creation has a story to tell.
The Merino wool I use has been farmed, processed, milled and spun in the South Island of NZ. This is the highest quality undyed base yarn I can buy in NZ. Merino wool comes from our Merino sheep and is renowned for its exceptional properties: its fantastic softness, durability, cooling/heating and breathability. The fibres of Merino are softer, finer and more sensitive than many other fibres – the main difference to other wools.
Dimensions: width 22″ – 56cm // length w/o fringe 72″ – 182cm // fringe 4″ – 10cm.
