Lava Flow. Handwoven super soft brushed Merino scarf – lighter than air, weighing just under 100g. (Pictured in one of the photos with the Cocoa Puff Cape).
This Brushed Merino has been hand dyed in a low immersion combination of brown, burnt orange and gold. The scarf was woven first, then dyed in the gradient. This allows the dye to strike at different intensities and intervals, creating a lot of movement in the cloth. Woven in an open sett to allow the Merino to “brush out” and create its halo. The scarf has an almost sheerness to it.
The scarf drapes and is incredibly soft. This would lovely draped over your shoulders or lightly secured with a brooch or pin. Can be worn tied in a French knot, traditional tie, or wrapped around your neck.
The scarf has been hand washed and brushed, and steam pressed.
Materials: Brushed NZ Merino. Loose fringe. Hand wash only. No iron. Brush when wet, let dry, brush, steam finish.

This one-off piece is Work 251. I rarely weave the exact same cloth or item twice. Every piece is unique and numbered, every creation has a story to tell.
22 micron NZ Merino. Pure brushed Merino yarns are fairly rare — most of the time, the Merino is spun together with another, ‘scalier’ fibre that can support its slippery-ness. The brushed-fluffy fibre will be spun into and around the core of a ‘binder’ fibre, in this case nylon.
Dimensions: width 14″ – 36cm // length w/o fringe 61″ – 156cm // fringe 4″ – 10cm.
