Description
These cowls are lightweight, warm and soft. I handweave each one with a fine Australian merino and our alpaca. For this cowl I first dyed the yarn with both indigo and local colourfast flora.
At Ashculme Textiles we walk gently on this precious earth. I hand weave each piece at my studio in rural NSW, using the yarn from our small herd of Suri Alpaca. The process is mostly here on the farm - after shearing, we clean the fleeces before sending them to a local mill where small batches are washed, carded & spun. I use natural dyes working with rain water that flows directly from the tank and on into the garden after use.
Alpaca fibre is resilient will keep its shape and softness for years.
Should you need to wash it, do so by hand, in warm water with a gentle ph neutral soap. Not to be tumble dried. Iron with a cool iron, protecting it with a cotton or linen tea towel.
