Short Cowls, Unisex
Here are a collection of naturally dyed cowls. They are warm and soft, handwoven and many using our very own special eco warps. These warps we create with leaves from our local flora.
These cowls are single length with the twist at the base. Wear it to keep the chill off your neck without the bulk of a scarf, to jazz up a simple neckline or for those in-between days where the weather is not quite one thing or the other. It is perfect for heading out into the winter chill, coats done up tight but none of the traditional scarf bulk underneath.
At Ashculme Textiles we walk gently on this precious earth. I hand weave each piece at my studio in rural NSW, using the yarn from our small herd of Suri Alpaca. The process is mostly here on the farm - after shearing, we clean the fleeces before sending them to a local mill where small batches are washed, carded & spun. I use natural dyes working with rain water that flows directly from the tank and on into the garden after use. In my weaving the designs come as I weave, allowing my fingers to instinctively create as they work.
Alpaca fibre is resilient will keep its shape and softness for years.
Should you need to wash it, do so by hand, in warm water with a gentle ph neutral soap. Not to be tumble dried. Iron with a cool iron, protecting it with a cotton or linen tea towel.
