Wool and silk scarf eco prints


My scientific training and my love of discovery mean I'm always experimenting. These scarves are 73% silk and 27% wool. The wool component means the images are sharper and the colours tend to be more intense. The scarves are a generous size, 60" by 11".  Soft and snug, wearing one of these is sheer pleasure.

If you are interested in any of these please contact me at lee.bisset @ ihug .co .nz. You'll need to remove the spaces.

There is a view of the entire mauve and green scarf on the previous post.

Fun Lion sweater



This lion sweater was fun to make. I knitted Perendale wool 4 ply wool, 2 strands together that I had dyed a deep blue and a yellow gold. For the mane I used handspun superwash Polwarth. The tail and face were embroidered after the knitting. I used a photo of a lion sweater in Ravelry to draw the design.
