Merry-Go-Round Cowl or Ring Scarf - hand knitted from hand spun yarn

Bright, happy colours go round this large cowl / ring scarf - just the thing to keep you warm while brightening up a cold dull day.  

Ring scarves / cowls are great - you pop them over your head and they cannot fall off.  This one is 82cm around by a snuggly 20cm wide - lovingly knitted to my own design and pattern with a textured stitch that looks the same on both sides.  It is unique.  

The yarn has been hand-spun from a blend of lovely luxury fibres - Alpaca, Merino, Silk, Cashmere, Possum (fur sourced from New Zealand where they are a pest species) and some Angelina (that's manmade - and it's twinkly threads, they don't photograph well but there are little twinkles sparkling in the yarn).

If you are looking for items that are Made by Hand - honouring the ideals of Slow Fashion - well you've come to the right place.  My hand-knits from yarn I've hand-spun are Extremely Hand Made.  

The yarn has gone through my hands 7 times ... 7 processes by hand.  The fibre has also been processed by Hand before it comes to me.  I buy my fibre from an Independent Fibre Artist whose studio is in the Yarra Valley - she:

Processes, Dyes, Cards, Blends the fibre ... all by Hand.  

Then when I get my hands on that lovely fibre I:

Spin it (on a Majacraft spinning wheel)

Ply it (on that spinning wheel)

Skein it

Set it 

Wind it into a ball

Then I Knit it and finally 

Block it (a washing process -  so it is beautiful and clean for you).

That's a lot of Hand Made ...
