Powder Puff. Handwoven super soft brushed Merino scarf – lighter than air, weighing just under 100g.
Brushed Merino has been hand dyed in very soft light peach pink. This is an incredibly soft, elegant, high quality wool. The scarf is woven with the brushed Merino held double with a natural silk mohair to create an incredibly soft 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 and silk mohair. Loose fringe. Hand wash only. No iron. Brush when wet, let dry, brush, steam finish.

This one-off piece is Work 268. 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 slipperyness. The brushed-fluffy fibre will be spun into and around the core of a ‘binder’ fibre, in this case nylon.
Silk mohair is like wearing a cloud, and the combination with the merino makes for an absolutely super soft garment with an incredible halo and softness.
Dimensions: width 15″ – 38cm // length w/o fringe 63 1/2″ – 162cm // fringe 3 1/2″ – 9cm.
