This one-off piece is Work 244. I never weave exactly 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 25 3/4″ – 66cm // length w/o fringe 51 1/2″ – 131cm // fringe 5″ – 12cm.
