Inspired by Japanese ‘WABI SABI’ philosophy - to honour the used, imperfect and to employ traditional techniques - the collection of woven scarves presents sustainable materials in a contemporary design.
The scarves are handcrafted on a single pure silk warp in the most economic use of double weave technique. Using strictly a rich variety of environment friendly yarns and precious re-used fabrics, each scarf is a unique piece.
Materials are:
factory left-over yarns and shredded textiles
blue slashed velvet from a local cloth production and indigo dyed wool
white textured silk from silk worm friendly production, i.e. the butterflies are allowed to hatch from the cocoon, leaving torn pieces of material that are spun into irregular yarns
very fine banana fibre yarn in a round weave
handspun chunky wool from local sheep, indigo dyed
On sale in Gallery Zone from 15 september.......
