Rainbow Cowl or Ring Scarf - Hand knitted from Hand spun yarn

Bright, happy colours & ridges go round and round this 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 84cm around by 12cm wide - lovingly knitted to my own design and pattern.    The yarn has been hand-spun from a blend of lovely luxury fibres - Cashmere, Blue Faced Leicester (that's a special breed of sheep), Angora (long-furred rabbit) and Tencel*.

If you are looking for items that are Made by Hand - honouring the ideals of Slow Fashion - you have 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 (in 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).

I doubt there are many things so completely Hand Made !  

• Tencel aka Lyocell is a form of Rayon so a semi-synthetic.  It is the most environmentally friendly form of Rayon.  In hand-spinning fibre it has a slight shine and often dyes a slightly lighter shade than other fibres ... it is also very soft to the touch.
