Paned Eggplant: Two different wool yarns were used to create a grid design over the length of the scarf. Hand dyed in a deep burgundy – the colouring is quite rich.
This gender neutral scarf is woven from both a chunky Merino-Linen blend and a fine NZ wool. This created a window-pane effect and movement in the cloth. Care was taken in creating a balanced weaves to form perfect squares.
The scarf drapes and has a bit of weight. 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 pressed.
Materials: NZ Merino-Linen-Viscose chunky, NZ wool. Hand twisted fringe. Hand wash only. Minimal iron.

This one-off piece is Work 293. I rarely weave the exact same cloth or item twice. Every piece is unique and numbered, every creation has a story to tell.
Chunky NZ Merino-Linen-Viscose (The viscose is used as a binder to the other fibres). This lustrous blend has a delicate texture and shine which creates a soft drape. A beautiful blend of fibres.
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 12″ – 30.5cm // length w/o fringe 72″ – 182cm // fringe 4″ – 10cm.
