A luxury reversible handwoven shawl woven with handdyed yarn.  Handwoven with care this scarf carries uses the traditional hand dyeing and handweaving skills to create something quite modern and contemporary.  The shawl has been woven on my Louet floor loom using an 8 shaft deflected doubleweave design which gives a reversible scarf looking quite different on the reverse.  This shawl is totally unique and is a distinctive individual item which adds instant style and warmth to any outfit whilst setting itself apart from the ordinary.
 
Creation: Deflected doubleweave is a weaving technique using on this occasion 4 shuttles and 4 yarns.  The yarns used were a merino/nylon (75%/25%) blend and were handdyed by Birdstreet yarn.  The yarns used were a navy, teal, rust and variegated teal with spots of rust and navy.   The weaving design uses 8 shafts of the loom and the fabric created has a lovely airy property adding to its warmth.
 
Dimensions:  Length is 180cm, width 34cm with a 16cm twisted fringe at each end.
 
Care: This item can be washed gently by hand in warm water with minimal agitation.  It should then be dried naturally and pressed.
