This beautifully soft green with flashes of bright pink handwoven scarf is a stunning one of a kind.  Woven using hand spun yarn.
 
This soft green scarf is beautifully soft and warm having been woven with hand spun merino and botany waste (short length fibres) with the introduction of hints of bright pink yarn along its length and in the weft. 
 
Emma spins the yarn herself on an Ashford e-spinner - blending the colours on spinning to create a unique hand-spun yarn with its own texture and colour variation.  The scarf has then been woven on a rigid heddle loom using a tabby weave which allows the yarn to really be seen in its full glory.  This is a true one of a kind scarf which will not be repeated.
 
This scarf would make a perfect gift for someone who would appreciate owning a unique, warm and cosy scarf which is the product of a skilled craftsperson.

Frequently Asked Questions 
 
 
What colours are actually in this scarf?
The dominant colour is a pale green with hints of pale blue, dark green and flashes of bright vibrant pink. The overall effect is a rich, jewel-toned colourway rather than a single flat colour.
 
Is this scarf scratchy?
No. The yarn is primarily merino - a fine-fibred wool that is soft enough to wear directly against the skin for most people. The ribbon insertions add a smooth, cool element to the texture rather than any roughness.
 
How do I care for a scarf woven from hand-spun yarn?
Air to freshen - this is usually sufficient for routine maintenance. If a full wash is needed, hand wash in cool water with a wool-safe detergent and very minimal agitation. Rinse once and dry flat; do not hang to dry. The surface texture of this scarf - the ribbons and the multi-strand weft means it is more sensitive to heat and agitation than a plain-woven scarf. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. If pressing is needed, use a cool iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth to protect the surface.
 
Will this scarf be available again?
No not in this form. Emma spins the yarn herself and the specific blend of fibres, colours and ribbon insertions that went into this scarf is unrepeatable. The warp is set once for a given batch of fabric; once the scarf is woven and cut, that particular combination of materials is gone. If you are interested in a commissioned piece with a similar approach -textured nd woven with  hand-spun yarn - contact Emma directly to discuss what might be possible.
 
Is this a good gift?
Yes, particularly for someone who appreciates craft, art or distinctive objects. This scarf is not a standard accessory - the hand-spinning and the weft insertions make it a wearable textile artwork in a way that most scarves are not.  It is accessible for what it is. It arrives in Emma’s branded gift packaging as standard and works well as a birthday, Christmas, retirement or significant occasion gift for someone who wears colour and would value something genuinely one of a kind.
