This beautifully pale green and orange scarf with accents of red and darker green is a woven with handspun merino yarn.
 
A beautifully soft and warm merino wool scarf.  Woven on a rigid heddle loom using handspun yarn.  The main colours are pale green and bright orange but there are flecks of red, darker green and blue creating a one of kind accessory. 

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 is beautifully soft, cosy and warm and would be an ideal gift for that person who would appreciate owning a handmade gift created by a skilled artisan.

Frequently Asked Questions 
 
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 and 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.
